The event took place on December 19 and was full of festive fun for all.
Colin Lambert, Chair of the U3A, said: “The U3A is a nationwide charity with over 100,00 members, and its entire ethos is to look after people who are no longer in full-time employment.

“We put on everything from archery, drama class, teach languages, hold meet up groups and walking groups, all over Bridlington.”
230 members and guests enjoyed the event joining in with line dancing, tap dancing and the brilliant U3A orchestra led the carol concert.
The hall was decorated festively with beautiful creations made by the arts, crafts and photographic groups in the U3A.
