Dulwich & District

Events

In addition to our interest groups, we organise regular open talks on a variety of topics with interesting guest speakers aiming to appeal to everyone in our diverse community. They provide an opportunity for members to meet each other, swap experiences and discuss ideas.

These talks are also open to the public – a chance for others to join our u3a. There’s no need to book. Just turn up and feel free to bring a friend or friends along.

Most of the meetings are held on a Tuesday or Wednesday at Herne Hill Baptist Church. There is wheelchair access through a side door (please ring the bell), and the front row is reserved for those with visual or hearing difficulties and for wheelchair users. We have invested in improved audio-visual equipment.

Forthcoming events are shown at the bottom of this page. You will also find them in our monthly Newsletter along with brief reports of past meetings.

You can attend talks, events and workshops (available both in person or online) organised by the Dulwich & District u3a Events team, London region and nationally. December also sees the members-only Festive lunch and ever popular Festive Quiz!

If you’d like to suggest a topic for a talk or share your experiences at one, please get in touch with the Events team

Roman Bednarz's presentation on digital accessibility at the workshop held on 7 October 2026 at Bell House may be downloaded here.

In Between - a Black History Month event

A packed audience of members and visitors, including people from different ethnic backgrounds, enjoyed and were moved by Maud Blair’s talk. Arranged by the Subcommittee for Inclusion and Diversity to celebrate Black History Month, Maud’s talk explored her personal experiences as a mixed-race child growing up in colonial Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
