WOMEN’S INSTITUTE

Formed in 1961, Levington W.I. has always had a steady membership of 20 – 25 members and a meeting is organised almost every month (not August), usually in the Village Hall.

Apart from the very varied meetings, specific events have been organised such as The May Fair, a cake stall at the Autumn Fair and the Over 60’s Christmas Party. We also enter the Suffolk Show competitions (receiving very good marks) and organise various outings including a mystery trip or a visit to the theatre.

We offer a warm and friendly welcome to new members and visitors to the village.
