Spotlight On Some Of Our Groups

Travel Group

Royal Mint and Rhondda Heritage Centre
11th April (Click here for more info)

The guided tour gives unprecedented access to The Royal Mint and its history with “Royal Mint Experience”.

“The Black Gold Experience Underground Tour” is led by guides who all worked the coal mines of the Rhondda Valleys when they were boys. There is also an interactive exhibition telling the story of life in the Rhondda. 

Mike Billington - Folk Dancing

Folk Dance Group

The dances suit any age, gender and ability. Dressing up is not required.

There are no specific steps to learn. The dances can be skipped or walked, even if you think you have two left feet!

In the spirit of the u3a it is a shared learning experience, for the callers as well as the dancers! 

Listen to Howard Wells and Richard Oliffe chatting about Red Nose Day events at the Hub and other Activities in our u3a.
