Throughout the year, we try to arrange a wide variety of tours, talks and trips of local interest usually by public transport, with occasional coach travel - all in good company who will also give you a warm and friendly welcome. 

We regularly email members of the group with news of our upcoming events, which can be booked on our Local History Group 1 page on  the Southport U3A website, once you have logged in.  Payment for our trips is encouraged to be made online but can be made at the monthly U3A meetings.

Over the last twelve months our visits, trips and guided walks   have included: 

  •  Guided historical walks (many by expert 'Blue Badge' Guides)  - of Southport, Ormskirk, Port Sunlight, Birkenhead Park
  • St. Georges Hall
  • Sefton Park Palm House

  • Lancashire Archives, Preston
  • Shakespeare North Theatre
  • Southport Masonic Hall
