The club was established in 2013, based in Tarporley, Cheshire - a village of some 2,000 inhabitants with a rural catchment area of around a similar size. Tarporley is situated near the A49/A51 between Chester (11 miles) and Nantwich (8 miles). In years gone by Tarporley was a coaching stop on the road between London and Chester.

Tarporley and District u3a currently has around 540 members. We are a Registered Charity - number 1171370.

We are surrounded by a number of villages and smaller communities including Tiverton, Bunbury, Tarvin, Kelsall, Calveley, Little Budworth, Alpraham, Beeston and Eaton. About 50% of our members live in Tarporley and 50% in the surrounding area. The next nearest u3a to us is in Tattenhall and members can join more than one u3a if they wish.
