Forthcoming Events

Welcome to Purley on Thames WI!

Why not come along and give us a try? You can be sure of a warm and friendly reception.

We meet at 7.30pm on the second Wednesday of each month at Purley Memorial Hall, Glebe Road, Purley RG8 8DP.

Our group is made up of women from all walks of life, with a wide range of interests and experiences. Take a look at our Programme to see what’s coming up in our monthly meetings - there’s something for everyone!

In addition to our regular gatherings, we also host and take part in a variety of events throughout the year, including:

📢 Pang Valley Group Meetings – A chance to meet members from other local WI groups.
🗓 Monthly Informal Lunches – Join us for lunch at a local pub or café and catch up with friends old and new.
✂️ Daytime Craft Sessions – Occasional craft get-togethers, often combined with coffee mornings or afternoon tea.
☕️ Coffee Mornings, Soup Lunches & Afternoon Teas – With plenty of cake, conversation, and community spirit.
🚌 Outings – Coach trips to nearby attractions such as Kew Gardens, Exbury, and more.

We’re also proud to support the Whitchurch Art Cafe, providing refreshments and homemade cakes at least twice a year.

As part of the wider WI community, our members have access to a huge variety of workshops, courses, outings, talks, discussions, craft markets, and social events, organised through the Berkshire Federation and the National Federation of Women’s Institutes.
