Margate WI

Margate Women’s Institute is a # friendly WI offering a place for women to come together to socialise, learn, contribute to our community and have fun.

Where we meet

We meet on the second Thursday of each month from 7.30-9.30pm at Olby’s Soul Cafe, 3-5 King Street, Margate CT9 1DD. The venue is fully accessible. Please let us know if you require assistance when attending our meetings.

What we do

Our group is made up of about eighty local women of all ages who enjoy meeting together, hearing talks on a diverse range of topics and engaging in all manner of interesting activities. Get a flavour of what we do by checking @Margate WI on Facebook and Instagram 

In addition to our monthly meetings, members can also join any (or all!) of our active special interest sub-groups where like-minded members can get together and share activities together. Click here to see the current list of sub-groups.

We support our local community with regular Litter Picks and through our activities, support local charities. In the past few years, these have included The Garden Gate Project, Oasis Domestic Abuse Service, Arts Education Exchange and the RNLI. Members get involved with events such as the Thanet Festival, Margate Pride, POW! and Mergate. We also organise a Christmas Fayre held at Dreamland. (If you are interested in hiring a stall at our fayre contact us for pricing and availability.)
