  • Overview: Dunster WI is a friendly group of around 45 members of varying ages, all of whom are ‘young at heart’!

Dunster WI is a friendly group of around 45 members of varying ages, all of whom are ‘young at heart’!

We usually meet on the first Tuesday of the month, 7.15pm - 9.15pm, in the Meeting Room and have a varied programme - a mix of speakers and activities, with something for everyone we hope.

In addition to our monthly meetings, we hold a monthly ‘Coffee & Chat Morning’ where we support our local traders by visiting different establishments around Dunster; have a small group of ‘Willing Weeders’ who meet most months to help care for our adopted flower bed in the adjacent Memorial Garden; have a small group who meet to ‘Clean & Polish’ in our local Parish & Priory Church of St George; get creative with occasional ‘Craft Afternoons’.

As part of Dunster Village we get involved with, and support Village events too, like the annual St George’s Flower Festival, the Dunster Horticultural Annual Show and Village Society Christmas Bazaar.
