Welcome to the u3a in Ludlow.
We are one of more than 1000 UK-wide u3a charities affiliated to the Third Age Trust that provide the opportunity for those no longer in full-time work to come together and learn for fun. It is all voluntary, friendly, low-cost and open to all.
u3a members draw upon their knowledge and experience to teach and learn from each other for pleasure; learning is its own reward.

* Being part of an organisation with over 500 members

* Opportunity to join nationwide on-line groups.
* Monthly meetings open to all members

The Sea Route to India
Fran Sandham
Author and lecturer Fran Sandham’s illustrated presentation tells the extraordinary story of how the fifteenth-century Portuguese explorers braved everything from natural obstacles to superstitious dread in order to discover a sea route around Africa to reach the rich spice markets of the East. Fran also explains how their journeys were originally inspired not so much by commerce but by the quest to find the mythical Christian emperor Prester John.
