Thrapston u3a is for anyone at a stage in their life when full time work, or perhaps family commitments no longer occupy every waking moment.

A time to take up former pastimes, learn new skills and have fun meeting people. 

We provide opportunities for our members to share learning experiences in a wide range

of interest groups. Members can pursue learning, not for qualifications, but for fun!

Just one of our upcoming speakers Nick Penny 

Call of the Kingfisher is an enchanted love letter to a short stretch of river and all the things that live there, especially the Kingfishers.

Nick Penny has walked beside the River Nene at Oundle for four decades, but a chance encounter with a Kingfisher on New Year’s Day led to a deeper relationship with the waterways and woods nearby.  The more he looks and listens during the year that follows, the more he sees and hears afresh.

Call of the Kingfisher is an invitation to appreciate the beauty of nature, even in the most ordinary places and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we visit the natural world.
