Tarporley & District

The University of the Third Age, known as u3a, is for older people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising, and are no longer in full time employment. u3a Members benefit from being able to join any of the growing number of Interest Groups which cover a wide variety of subjects, and to come to our monthly meetings or to join our outings. Tarporley and District u3a covers Tarporley and the surrounding area including Tarvin, Kelsall and Bunbury.

You can find out more at the Third Age Trust and the North West Region site.
