Group email: Days Out and Holidays group

A variety of day trips and holidays are arranged by several of our members for the benefit of all. More trip organisers are always welcome as are suggestions for new trips. On this page you can see our forthcoming trips and blog posts from previous trips. Just a few of us plan and organise trips for u3a members, we always need more people! Why do we do it? I think it is because we know members enjoy the days out and we like organising them.

  • Gloucester Trip - 5th March 2026

    Trip Report from Shirley Harvey. A coach full of U3a members set off on our trip to Gloucester at around 9.30am. The weather was good, if a little chilly to start. We arrived behind the Gloucester Quays shops. A walk up the steps or ramp and there we were, the shops, such a treat. A…
