ALL ABOUT US
When do we meet
We meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm
(except August). Any woman who is 18 or over is welcome to attend. You do not have to join on your first visit - you can try before you buy. You are sure of a warm welcome when you turn up to a meeting. If you have emailed us before-hand we can look out for you turning up but you can just arrive and let the ladies on the door know that you are visiting for the first time. They will make sure someone looks after you for the evening and shows you the ropes. For more information contact us by using the on-line form. Who are we
You can find out about some of our past members on our Southwell in the County and History of Southwell WI pages.

History of the Hall
Southwell WI purchased the Infants school and playground in 1930 for the sum of £120 and it has been wholly run and maintained by the members ever since. Now known as Southwell WI Hall, it is in almost constant use, not only by the WI but by many other local organisations and individuals. It is therefore a valuable community asset.

The building comprises the main hall which is equipped with upholstered chairs and which has a large white projector screen in- situ. There is a good sized modern kitchen with cooker, fridge and adequate work space, cutlery and crockery.
Maximum capacity of the hall is 80 and it is fully accessible for wheelchairs users. The hall is available for regular or one-off bookings - contact us for details. Southwell WI also has an experienced catering team willing to provide a range of refreshments for all occasions. |
