Events
Our social and events programme offers a wide range of educational and social activities that should appeal to members.
Preston u3a holds Monthly Socials (click here) and one-off events (click here) - make sure you check out both lists! Top tip - put dates you fancy into your own diary or calendar straight away.
Groups may also organise their own special events - check details of these with the groups you join.
Non-members may attend two meetings of their choice, including a group meeting, before deciding whether or not to join us.
All Monthly Socials are held at Fulwood Free Methodist Church and start at 2.00pm Admission - £2.00
