Welcome to Minchinhampton Women’s Institute
Minchinhampton Women’s Institute (Minchinhampton WI) is part of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes, in the Gloucestershire Federation. The WI is the largest women’s organisation in the UK.
Minchinhampton WI meets on the first Wednesday of each month, starting at 2:30pm, in the Scout Hut on Dr Brown’s Road. Most meetings include a talk by a professional speaker and finish with refreshments. Meetings typically finish by about 4:30pm. Visitors are very welcome – your first visit is free and subsequent visits cost £4.
Come and see us at Minchinhampton Country Fayre this Saturday (13th September).
Our next talk is on Wednesday 1st October at 2:30pm in the Scout Hut. Paul Verney will be giving a talk entitled “Old Sewing Machines”, which reminds me of my grandmother’s black and gold Singer sewing machine that I used for many years.
Recent talks include Unusual Cures and Blood Galore (the History of Medicine), Fraud Advice and the Dymock Poets.
Membership of the WI is open to women aged 18 years or over, and costs £51 for the 2025-26 season (April 2025 – March 2026)
