Petersfield WI is part of the National Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI), the largest women's organisation in the UK. Petersfield has long been home to the Women’s Institute, proudly celebrating 110 years of friendship, community, and women supporting women.
Our members range in age and background, bringing a wealth of experience, skills, and enthusiasm to our events. Whether you're looking to learn something new, meet like-minded people, or simply enjoy an evening or afternoon of engaging talks, activities, and socialising, you'll find a warm welcome at Petersfield WI.
ABOUT US
In 2024, Petersfield WI was formed in response to a growing desire for a modern, vibrant branch that could offer more flexibility for busy lives. It quickly became clear that there was enthusiasm for both an afternoon and an evening group—ensuring every woman in the town could find her place.
The evening group meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM at The Studio, The Petersfield School, The Causeway, Petersfield, GU32 3LU and the afternoon group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 2.00PM at Petersfield Community Centre, Love Lane, Petersfield, GU31 4BW.
