About us

Pembury Evening WI is part of the National Federation of Women's Institutes, a voluntary organisation formed in 1915 and which is now the largest voluntary organisation for women in the UK. Each branch of the WI is different and Pembury Evening WI is no exception. We were formed in October 1964 and aim to be a warm and welcoming group where you can meet new people, learn new things from our speakers and new crafts with our craft group.

Our meetings are held on the 1st Friday of the month starting at 7.45pm in the Pembury Village Hall. Homemade cakes are served with our refreshments which we have after our Speaker has finished. In 2024 we celebrated our 60th birthday with catered buffet and we were entertained by Miss Vintage. We had a crafty session making Paper Beads, had a go at Walking Netball, and had a fascinating talk entitled "Do you know what you are eating?" In 2025  we will be hearing about "Living with Dementia" and learning about Cob nuts and making paper tissue flowers. members will also be going on an Owl Walk at Bore Place

Members see the TWODS productions at the Assembly Halls and visit the ENO in London and we have the opportunity to participate in activities organised by our Federation

We have a committee of 10 who are responsible for managing Pembury Evening WI on behalf of its members.
