We are a very friendly, small, village WI always happy to welcome visitors. In 2023, we’re delighted to be celebrating our 100th anniversary. 

Our programme is compiled from member’s suggestions into a combination of interesting speakers, ‘hands-on’ crafts and member-led discussions. Refreshments and social catch up are always included too! Whenever practical we also make our meetings available via zoom. 

In addition to monthly meetings we often have other activities such as our own outings and getting together with other WIs. We are active as the ‘WI’ in our village community too at events and the annual litterpick.
