Community Directory: Adult Education

Enfield and Southgate Lifelong Learning started in autumn 2025 when the funding from the GLA was reduced meaning that some of the WEA courses we had planned would be cancelled. We are run by volunteers and are a not-for-profit community association arranging courses of lectures for adults.

Our courses are run in-person over 5 or 6 weeks and are educational leisure courses such as art appreciation and social history, although hopefully we can expand on this and introduce other topics. Each session lasts two hours, with a short break for a coffee and a chat with other students. We will also be offering one off courses/talks in the future. Our tutors encourage questions and discussion. Click the button below for further information on courses currently available.

We have a number of excellent and popular tutors as well as dozens of students who appreciated the many benefits of lifelong learning and meeting others face to face.

Courses are run at the Enfield Baptist Church, Cecil Road, Enfield EN2

Learn - Laugh - Live

• u3a members are busy learning new things and staying active.
• u3a is really good fun
• making the most of life

Nobody has to stop learning just because they have stopped working. The u3a is for people who want to keep active in mind and body. There's first age learning at school or college, followed by second age learning - the skills learnt at work. And there's third age learning when people learn whatever they want. That is what happens in u3a. People come together in small groups to study a subject they all find interesting. We already have over 50 interest Groups

Membership of the u3a is open to men and women who are no longer in full time work, irrespective of race, religion or politics. There is neither a lower or an upper age limit; no qualifications are required and none are given.
