About
Leavenheath Afternoon Women’s Institute
We’re proud to be part of the largest women’s organisation in the UK. Yes, we still sing Jerusalem — but very few of us make jam! What we do make are delicious homemade cakes, which sell out almost instantly at the village fête each year.
Our monthly meetings offer a lively mix of talks, demonstrations, craft sessions and quizzes, with something to interest everyone. Alongside this, we enjoy a regular lunch club, visits to other local WIs, and a variety of outings throughout the year.
We meet in the village hall at 1.30 pm on the first Tuesday of every month, and we’d love to welcome you to come along, meet new friends, and see what we’re all about.
For more information, please contact Jacqui Shepherd on: 07794 648080.
