Sherborne u3a runs 48 groups around Sherborne.

Sherborne u3a is a registered charity and a member of the Third Age Trust, based in the town of Sherborne, Dorset. It runs more than sixty interest groups for people no longer working full time, covering subject based, creative and leisure activities, alongside social groups, social events and trips away. There are nearly eight hundred members, generally aged fifty or over and semi retired or retired, and there are no exams and no pressure. Contact details for group leaders are not listed, so anyone interested in joining a group registers their interest with the group coordinator, who is then in touch.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Sherborne

A local paper for your patch, delivered by email. Who's just started up, what's in season, when the markets are on, what's on this month, and the odd story about how a place like yours keeps its money close to home.

Good news, mostly. There's enough of the other kind about.








Just the district, TQ9, never your full address.

Your postcode does one more thing. It's a show of hands for your own patch. Every signup tells the bakers, growers and makers nearby that their neighbours are behind them, and that count is what convinces the next one to put themselves on the map. More of us backing local means more to buy, closer to home.

We haven't sent the first one yet. Sign up now and you'll be there for it.
