The u3a is a thriving mutual self help educational, creative and leisure activity movement for people no longer in full time employment. There are no obstacles to joining, no qualifications are needed and no exams are held.

We were formed in Upminster in October 2016 and with the enthusiastic support of the people of Upminster have grown rapidly to the point where we have over 600 members and over 50 interest groups.

Monthly Meetings

We normally hold our monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at the New Windmill Hall.

Meetings start with a few words from our chairman, followed by a main, and often a second speaker.

We serve tea and biscuits and in order to support the environment please bring your own cup.

Doors open at 1:00pm for a 1:30pm start.
