Our previously postponed Coach Trip to Sutton Hoo and Woodbridge has now been re-arranged for 7th July 2026 The trip is for u3a and Probus members - friends of members are also welcome. The trip will start off with a visit to Sutton Hoo. This is the awe-inspiring Anglo-Saxon royal burial site, home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, on which the film “The Dig” was based. There is an exhibition showcasing the amazing finds, an open-air site with amazing views around the dig-site, a cafe and a shop. After about 2 hours there we will move on to Woodbridge, a historic Suffolk market town on the river Deben. There is a Museum, a working tide Mill and many fine pubs and restaurants to visit. The coach will pick up from the Burnham Clock Tower at 0900 and at 0910 at the bus stop opposite the Clockwork Hotel on the corner of Foundry Lane. The trip cost is £17 per person (based on approx. 50 persons), if you are already a National Trust Member. If you don’t have a National Trust membership card (must be produced on site) there will be an additional charge of £17.10 per person, group rate entry to Sutton Hoo, but this must be paid at the time of booking to get the group rate. Booking Form now online. Please do not delay your booking. We have to confirm and pay the coach one month in advance. Failure to get enough bookings by the confirmation date was why we had to cancel last time.
Payment should be made at time of booking by Bank Transfer to u3a.
Joining Burnham-on-Crouch u3a is a great way to find and develop new interests and make friends in a relaxed environment. We are a volunteer-led charitable organisation, offering learning and social opportunities to people who are no longer working full-time and who enjoy getting together to share their skills and learn for fun.
Our members believe in life-long learning and we achieve this by forming self-help Interest Groups covering a wide range of topics and activities, together with regular meetings open to all members and usually featuring an invited speaker. We aim for an environment where everyone feels included and has the chance to make new friends and enjoy themselves.
Burnham u3a was formed in 1999, so we have recently celebrated our 25th anniversary. We currently have around 300 members and a wide range of interest groups.
