Jacquie Webber Tel: 07428159444
Group email: Theatre group
When: Visits are advertised here and in the Newsletter and Bulletin.
Cost: We only charge what the theatre ticket cost.

We have great fun visiting shows and plays in Peacehaven, Brighton, Eastbourne and occasionally even London.
The group offers a rich programme, open to all members of the u3a.
We try to book early to take advantage of early bird discounts and of course a better choice of seats.
We usually choose the matinee performance as this gives us the excuse to go to lunch together first. Of course, you don't have to go to the meal.

See our planned theatre visits at the foot of this page. Early booking is advised.
