Monthly meetings take place on the last Monday of each month. There are no meetings in July, August and December, and the May meeting takes place a week earlier due to the bank holiday. They provide an opportunity for members of u3a in Ludlow to meet and chat, to talk to committee members and to hear a talk given by a guest speaker on a wide variety of subjects.

The programme for 2026 can be found on the u3a website here:

Meetings start with coffee and tea at 10:30 in Oscars, moving into the auditorium at 11:00 to hear a guest speaker.

With the range of knowledge and skill of our members we are keen to encourage speakers from within our membership. So if you have a subject you would happily talk to the group about, contact the Speakers Coordinator, meetings@u3ainludlow.org.uk

If you are not yet a member of the u3a, but are interested in attending one of the lectures, please come along and say hello.
