Preston u3a Culture Live Group

Group Leader: Jo Betts

Steering Team: Rees Ballard, Jo Betts, Clare Burton-Johnson, and Tony Cheetham.

Our Culture Live Group aims to enable you (in the spirit of Preston & District u3a's philosophy) to choose to experience things (in our case of a broadly cultural nature) that you may have fancied doing, but have not had the opportunity to try before. Or it may be that there are interests you already hold, but wish to share, explore and enjoy these in the company of other u3a members.

The Steering Team, Rees Ballard, Clare Burton-Johnson, Tony Cheetham and Jo Betts regularly organise events, but any member is encouraged to suggest and organise tickets and travel for other members. The Steering Team is on hand to provide advice and guidance about this.

If you have any questions about the Culture Live Group, please contact the Group Leaders here and we will be happy to help.

Our events have included:

• Ballet and dance (modern, ethnic and classical)

• Opera (including live staged, broadcast in cinemas and abroad)

• Theatre (drama and musicals)

• Music (classical, folk, jazz, ethnic etc.)

• Art and other specialist exhibitions

We look for quality events that we can attend as economically as possible.

Things you need to know

Preston & District u3a will not be responsible for any financial arrangements made amongst Culture Live members. Our insurance does not cover social events organised between members.

Once a ticket (performance and/or travel) has been purchased on your behalf by the organiser, those tickets belong to you and the organiser reimbursed as arranged. If you subsequently are unable to attend, we will help you try to find someone else to use those tickets and reimburse you, but this of course cannot be guaranteed.
