Newport / Casnewydd u3a runs 42 groups around Newport / Casnewydd.
Newport (SE Wales) u3a was founded in 1993 and has over 400 members, who meet in around 40 study, leisure and interest groups. Most groups run over 40 weeks of the year, breaking at the three main school holidays, while some continue throughout. Membership entitles a member to attend as many groups as they can fit in. Most meetings and classes are held at the Dolman Theatre on Kingsway in Newport, where the branch runs its own café, open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 9.30 and 2.30. It is worth checking before attending a group for the first time, as groups are occasionally cancelled.
- Newcomers Prospective members choose a group and come to the Dolman Theatre around fifteen minutes before its start time, and are given a taster card allowing them to try any groups over a two week period, which need not be consecutive weeks. After that they are asked to join as a full member. No qualifications are needed and none are given.
- Who it is for For people no longer in full time employment, whether retired or working towards retirement.
- Cost, as stated 25 Aug 2026 Membership is £40 for a full year, £30 from September and £20 from January.

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.
