We are delighted to announce the launch of our exciting new partnership with u3a with the introduction of u3a getaways – a brand-new collection of special tours designed exclusively for u3a members, their friends and family.
At The UK Holiday Group, we believe travel is about far more than simply visiting new places. It’s about learning, discovering, connecting with like-minded people and creating memories that last a lifetime. Those values align perfectly with the u3a community, which brings together people who share a passion for learning, friendship and making the most of life.
That’s why we are so thrilled to be working alongside one of the UK’s largest and most respected membership organisations u3a to create a programme of unique and enriching travel experiences. We are offering holidays that inspire curiosity, celebrate shared interests and provide opportunities to explore Britain’s remarkable heritage, culture and landscapes.
To launch the partnership, we have created six exclusive tours, each centred around a fascinating theme and packed with memorable experiences.

Step into the world of the Queen of Crime on this captivating four-night journey through the landscapes and locations that inspired Agatha Christie’s legendary stories. Discover her Devon roots, explore places connected to her life and works, and enjoy a fascinating insight into one of Britain’s most celebrated authors.

Celebrate the life and legacy of William Shakespeare with a three-night break that takes you to the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. From historic buildings and literary landmarks to immersive cultural experiences, this tour is a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper into the world of England’s greatest playwright.

Experience the magic of the festive season in Yorkshire. Featuring beautiful Christmas displays, seasonal attractions, charming York Street ‘The Shambles’, and The York Chocolate Story, this short break captures all the warmth and sparkle of the most wonderful time of the year.

Perfect for aviation enthusiasts and history lovers alike, this fascinating experience at Duxford explores Britain’s rich aviation heritage. Discover iconic aircraft, visit renowned collections and museums, and uncover the stories of innovation, engineering and bravery that shaped aviation history.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Dartmoor National Park on this unforgettable wildlife-themed getaway. From spectacular landscapes and native wildlife to expert-led experiences and fascinating local insights, this tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and explore one of Britain’s most treasured environments.

A celebration of the art of great wine, beautiful scenery and excellent company. This enjoyable break introduces guests to vineyards, tastings and the growing success of English wine, while providing plenty of opportunities to socialise with fellow wine enthusiasts and expand their knowledge along the way.

While we are incredibly excited about these six launch tours, they are only the beginning of the u3a getaways journey.
Our teams are already working together to develop an even broader collection of exclusive experiences for 2027. We look forward to introducing new destinations, fresh themes and inspiring itineraries that reflect the wide-ranging interests of u3a members – from history, literature and culture to gardens, wildlife, food and drink, and much more.
We are proud to be working together with u3a and cannot wait to welcome members on their first u3a getaways adventures.
Whether you’re passionate about history, fascinated by literature, intrigued by wildlife, or simply looking to share memorable experiences with like-minded people, u3a getaways offer something truly special.
Here’s to the start of a fantastic partnership and many unforgettable journeys ahead.
