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! Meetings begin at 7.30pm and are held at Charlbury Primary School (our new venue August 2024 onwards). 

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)

WI Annual Subscription: Full annual membership of Charlbury WI will cost £48, covering April 2024 to March 2025. Any new members joining in subsequent quarters of the year will be charged the pro rata rate.
