The Brighton Five Deans u3a is the local branch of the national U3A organisation, which is dedicated to bringing together “third agers” (over 50 and not working full-time) for shared interests and enjoyment. There are six u3a groups in Brighton, and thirty in Sussex, all managed independently by their members. Nationally, the u3a movement includes over 400,000 members in more than 1,000 u3a groups and is continuing to grow every day.

And More
In addition to the monthly meetings, we have interest groups/classes, covering multiple topics such as art history, music appreciation, tai chi, lunches, walking, jazz appreciation, and outings. The groups meet in members’ houses or in local halls. These groups are free to members of the U3A. For a few groups, there’s a small charge as a contribution to the hire of the hall.
