About Us

The Women's Institute offers fun and friendship and a chance to learn new skills. There is usually a speaker at the monthly meetings and time to socialise with fellow members. Other activities such as outings or crafts feature on the WI calendar depending on the interests of the members. If you are new to an area it is a wonderful way to make friends.

The Seagrave Institute is part of the Soar Valley Group made up of several other village institutes in the area. There is also a County Federation of all the Institutes in Leicestershire. The WI as an organisation exists to educate women to enable them to provide an effective role in the community, to expand their horizons and to develop and pass on important skills.  Events organised by the Group and County Federation include skittles, scrabble and bridge matches; walks; art, craft leisure & cookery activities; matters associated with health, science & public affairs; bi-annual meetings with speakers and outings.

There are opportunities for members to take residential courses at Denman College on a wide range of subjects including crafts, arts, music, sports, cookery.

We are a friendly bunch of some 30 ladies, visitors are welcome at our meetings and it is hoped that more women will consider joining us. The annual subscription is £30 which includes quarterly copies of the new magazine WI Life. If you would like to join us as a visitor the £3 charge would be reimbursed if you decide to become a member.
