Aughton & Ormskirk u3a is a lively local community for people who are no longer in full-time work and want to stay active, curious and connected.
We bring people together to share interests, enjoy activities and make new friendships — all in a relaxed, informal and friendly way. Everything we do is organised and run by our members, for our members.
Members take part in a wide range of activities, meeting regularly in Aughton, Ormskirk and the surrounding area. There’s something for everyone, whether you enjoy being active, creative, social, or simply like learning new things for pleasure.
We offer a large and varied programme of interest groups, including:
- Walking, fitness and wellbeing activities
- Art, photography, drama, music and creative groups
- Discussion, history, languages and philosophy
- Social groups, outings and informal get-togethers
New groups start regularly, and we encourage members to suggest or lead activities based on their own interests.
One of the best ways to get to know us is to come along to our Horizons coffee meetings, held weekly. These informal sessions are a great opportunity to meet other members, find out what’s going on, and explore groups you might like to join.
We also hold monthly meetings with guest speakers, offering talks on a wide variety of topics.
Aughton & Ormskirk u3a is run entirely by its members sharing their enthusiasm, experience and skills with one another in a friendly, supportive environment.

- No exams
