Throughout the year we are holding a number of events to honour this important milestone in our history.

Tuesday 30 June 2026: Our 40th Anniversary Main Celebration. Tickets for this event are now sold out. More information.

• Our French Conversation B Group will be joining forces with our German Conversation Group for a Summer Garden Party in July.
• Stitchcraft 1 is holding an Ascot Ladies’ Day to be held at home with a buffet, champagne and a sweepstake while watching the races on television. Hats are being decorated for the occasion on the 18 June.

During their April meeting the Murder Mystery Book Group shared some bubbles and cakes to celebrate 40 years of Bicester u3a. They each dressed up as a character from a murder mystery book.

The Wine Appreciation Group, as might be expected, celebrated our 40th Anniversary by raising a glass (or perhaps more).

The Art Appreciation Group celebrated Bicester u3a's 40 years on Thursday 9 April with a talk on five great but largely forgotten artists followed by Tea and Birthday Cake.

The Any Type of Good Music Group, as their celebration, listened to a selection of chart hits from 1986 as that was 40 years ago.

Our first major event of 2026 was The Groups Showcase/Freshers' Fair on 24 January was a major success. We have a separate page with a full report of the event and photographs. Read all about it here!
