Chideock WI has a number of interest groups that meet regularly and this is where real friendships are made as we walk around the beautiful Dorset countryside or discuss our favourite craft over a cup of tea.

​

Create in Company  This group is resting at the moment and we are looking for a new leader.  In the interim we are organising half day courses run by local artists and makers.  In November Lusea Warner-Gale will run a workshop on lino cutting with the opportunity to design your own Christmas cards.​​

​

Book Group  This group meets at lunchtime monthly in a local pub or cafe.  Over a drink and a light bite we discuss the book we have read that month.  We cover a variety of genres from modern detective novels to the classics.  We currently have space for an additional member.

​​​​

Lunch and Natter.  Every month there is lunch-time visit to a local pub or restaurant.  Any member can attend and it is a wonderful opportunity to eat somewhere new in good company, and have a good chat.  In August we make a change by meeting for brunch/breakfast at the Hive Beach Cafe in Burton Bradstock.

​

Walking Group  We meet all year round, weather permitting and, usually on the 4th Tuesday of the month for a variety of local walks.  Dogs are welcome and they enjoy the company as much as we do.  We often end with tea or coffee in a cafe or at a member's house.​

 

​

​

Garden Group   A very successful group where members visit gardens under the National Garden Scheme and local plant fairs.  This year we hope to visit members' gardens as well and swap plants and seeds.
