We may be retired but we still want to be out and about, enjoying company, maybe trying something different; taking the chance to get more creative, or active, or to learn a whole new skill. The u3a is all about coming together to form a variety of 'Interest' or 'Activity' groups, and to organise 'Events'.
See listing below for the range of recurring activities that Wigan currently offers or use the menu above to switch to Events List page to see any one-off dates. Click group names below for more detail about how each operates, and who to get in touch with for joining or other queries.
Calendar links here give diary dates for 'current' and 'next' months, however produced in advance and provisionally, so always better to be on a group contact list, or to speak to the group leader, in case of last minute changes.
