Charlbury WI

Charlbury's thriving WI comprises a group of women of all ages. Our get togethers are informal and entertaining and our monthly programme provides something of interest for everyone. Of course, being the WI, we always treat ourselves to coffee, tea and delicious home-made cake during the evening! Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month beginning at 7.30pm and take place at Charlbury Memorial Hall, Brown’s Lane (as from May 2025). 

Charlbury WI is part of the Oxfordshire Federation of Women’s Institutes, 5 Court Farm Barns, Medcroft Road, Tackley, Oxfordshire OX5 3AL (https://www.oxfordshirewi.co.uk)
