The Dorchester and District u3a is one of the larger u3as in the United Kingdom. This means that we are able to offer a very wide range of activities. Members receive a printed newsletter three times a year which is packed with useful information and which compliments this website. We are located in Dorchester, the County Town of Dorset in the south of England. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside close to the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site.
