Join Farningham Women's Institute

The Farningham Women's Institute has been established since 1918, and it continues to thrive with around 60 members. This local branch of the national WI movement meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30pm at Farningham Village Hall, where members can enjoy a range of activities including short mat bowls, crafts, and social events.

The group's monthly meetings feature engaging speakers, with topics ranging from sound healing to chocolate tasting. In addition to these meetings, the WI also runs a short mat bowls club, a Friday walking group, a book club, and a lunch club, among other activities. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting for £3, with no booking needed, and annual membership is available for £51, pro-rata.
