Guests are always welcome and 3 free visits are allowed before deciding to join us.

One of the great things about the WI is making new friends, being able to share new experiences and always having a support network.

We no longer see ourselves as being known for ‘Jam and Jerusalem.’ You do not need to be an expert at making preserves or baking, although we do enjoy a social time with tea/coffee and cakes at the end of each meeting.

We are part of the Lincolnshire North Group of WI’s which organises events for members, for example, in 2026 there is a visit to Buckingham Palace to see the exhibition, ‘Queen Elizabeth: Her Life in Style’ and local trips to the Bransby Horse and Donkey Sanctuary and a river cruise on the Boston Belle.

Our programme is varied with speakers covering topics such a travel, history, nature and crafts.

Programme for 2026:

• May 5th Resolutions and Competitions
• June 2nd Dave Smith, ‘History of the Empire and Empress Theatres in Cleethorpes’
• July 7th Kay Lawson, ‘Sun Cloud Therapy.’
• September 1st Ian Wright, ‘North Thoresby Village History and Archive.’
• October 6th Clare Manning, ‘Bring back the Brooch.’
• November 3rd Heather Pickwell, Craft Evening.
