South Durham

u3a group with alpacas

South Durham u3a

Welcome to South Durham u3a. We were established as the second group based in Darlington back in 2001.

Our current membership is over 220 and is open to anyone no longer in full time employment.

We meet monthly at the Community Hall in Bowen Road, Darlington when we have a guest speaker, tea and coffee and an opportunity to socialise.

In addition, we offer a range of over 20 interest groups which each meet once or twice a month. We also arrange an interesting variety of trips and visits throughout the year.
