Levington WI
If you imagine a Women’s Institute meeting to be a room of twin set and pearl clad women comparing their jars of preserves and knitting patterns, then think again! Levington WI is a friendly, welcoming and lively group of women of all ages and backgrounds from the village and surrounding area. We enjoy getting together, learning new things and having fun. Our monthly meeting demos or talks cover far-ranging topics and we hold many extra events during the year as well. We successfully ‘twin’ with Dunrobin & District WI, Ontario, Canada.
Founded in 1961, Levington WI has around 35 members. Meetings are normally held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at Levington Village Hall, Bridge Road, starting at 7.30pm. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
