Macclesfield

“Nobody needs to stop learning just because they have finished working.”

The u3a is for people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising, and are no longer in full time employment.

We provide around 45 popular interest groups. You will find arts and crafts, languages, literature, walking, music, card and board games, social activities, discussions, and more.
