NUTFIELD WI
NOT YOUR AVERAGE WI GROUP
We do like Jam but it's usually in the middle of a sponge cake. Â As for Jerusalem...!
If you have ever wondered what the WI is all about, why not come along and meet a very friendly group of ladies of all ages who enjoy a wide range of interests.

​
Nutfield WI is a thriving group that has a variety of meetings each week. At our main monthly meeting we hear from a whole host of speakers talking on a variety of topics.
Find out more about our Monthly Meetings here.
​
You may like to join one of our varied interest groups which meet each month.
Our walking club, The Rambling Roses, venture along the local, and not so local, footpaths; and our crafting group, Crafternooners, meet at the Merstham Mix cafe once a month. Our ever popular Book Club meets monthly at the Queen's Head, as do The Quizzers, who take part in the pub quiz on the last Tuesday of each month. Movie Night provides regular opportunities to visit the cinema whilst our supper club, Food With Friends, meets every couple of months for a delicious meal at a local pub or restaurant.
We also meet weekly for Tea & Tarts and a chat at either Priory Farm Cafe or The Sunflower Cafe at Christ Church, South Nutfield and once a month for Afternoon Tea & Tarts at the Shepherd's Hut at Priory Farm.
Check out our upcoming Meetings and Events here.
​
We also plan a number of other events and trips during the year. Visit our Trips page to find out where we are off to next.
You can see we always have lots going on!
​

​
As well as enjoying ourselves, we also support some local groups and charities, including I Choose Freedom women's refuges, the Open Hands food bank and Stripey Stork.
See our Charities & Donations page here.
​
We also try to support and look after each other in the group. Many ladies have made new friends through the WI and found their lives enhanced by new experiences and friendships. We all contribute to each other's quality of life and to wellbeing in our community.
​
At Nutfield WI, we believe that women have a strong voice and big ideas. We actively encourage new members to share in our thriving group and bring their own passions and interests with them. If you would like to join us, we would love to have you as a member. Why not come along to one of our monthly meetings or a Tea & Tarts coffee morning and see what you think - check out the Meetings and Events page on this website and just come along for a taster. You will be very welcome.
