Social Clubs for Older People

The University of the Third Age in Bath

Welcome to the University of the Third Age in Bath, a lively and friendly association offering a wide range of study and leisure activities for those whose days are no longer tied to earning a living.

It is a good way to meet people and to make new friends. Costs are minimal because our activities are organised by our members, who share their skills and expertise. There are nearly a hundred different study, creative or leisure interest groups meeting regularly. Each month a guest speaker gives a lecture of general interest at the Pavilion and there is also a monthly coffee morning. A Sunday lunch is organised at a different venue each month, and outings are arranged to places of interest.

Use the menu to explore in detail what we have to offer. As a member you receive a monthly newsletter and diary keeping you informed of what is going on. These are sent by post or email, whichever is requested.

If you are not already a member, we hope you will join us. The coffee morning is a good opportunity to come and meet us, without obligation, before joining. You can discuss your interests with group leaders and members, and enjoy a social morning with coffee and biscuits available at a modest price. The coffee morning takes place from 10.30am to 12 noon on the third Thursday of every month except August and December. It is held at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution in Queen Square, which has wheelchair access.
