Study Days

The Surrey U3A Network Study days are open to all U3A members and guests are very welcome. They are held in the Menuhin Hall, Stoke d'Abernon; starting at 9.30am with registration and running from 10am to 4pm.

Following the experience many have had during the pandemic of attending events virtually, they have decided to offer virtual attendance so that members can view the study days from home. The fees including coffee/tea and biscuits, are £12 for hall attendance or £7 online, £15 for guests and £15 for all attendees paying at the door, although booking in advance is preferred. Attendees should bring a packed lunch. Prior booking is necessary.

Surrey u3a Network Study Day - Friday 18th September 2026

This Surrey Network study day will be in The Menuhin Hall, Cobham Road, Stoke d'Abernon, Surrey KT11 3QQ.

There is far more to be revealed about the Bayeux Tapestry than could ever be covered in a single study day. Who made it, where and why are the most frequently asked questions - although they might also be seen as less important beside the information the tapestry itself offers us.

The tapestry itself is not a tapestry, but an embroidery woven from only ten different colours on linen which remains as vibrant today as it must have been nine and a half centuries ago.

The study day will look at many of the scenes in detail and explore what might be learned from this depiction of a turning point in our history. Perhaps the preeminent turning point in our national history. We note that the British Museum will display the Bayeux Tapestry from September 2026 to June 2027.
