Buxton & District u3a runs 46 groups around Buxton.

Buxton and District u3a is marking its 30th anniversary with a year of events, including a creative arts and leisure showcase. Alongside its interest groups it holds a monthly meeting with a speaker, and arranges outings such as a Bess of Hardwick exhibition at Hardwick Hall and trips to Bury for the market, churches and museums. There is no certified teaching or training: group members support each other to learn new skills.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Buxton

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.
