About Us

Founded in 1923, Snettisham WI is a friendly group based in one of the most picturesque villages of West Norfolk, just two miles from the coast. We are entertained by a wide range of speakers and have regular social events.

Our Centenary Year started with a wonderful birthday meeting with special guests and entertainment. We unveiled our new banner which replaced the previous one which was over 50 years old. This was dedicated at a church service, and we  then planted a rowan tree in the churchyard near the grave of our founder Lady Barbara Strickland.

In June we held at Open Day for the local community, and were able to display archive material and scrapbooks dating right back to 1923. There were refreshments, tombola, cake and craft stalls, and we launched our new recipe book too.

Some of our creative members have been making postbox toppers for the main village postbox, and villagers are always complimenting us on the amazing work that goes into them. Designs have included the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Christmas, our own Centenary and the King's Coronation.

Our new banner was created by members to celebrate our Centenary. The previous one was over 50 years old, and included Ingoldisthorpe WI as we were linked for some 40 years until the 1970s. It was blessed by Rev Dan Tansey at St Mary's Church in February 2023.

We always have a full programme of speakers, and there are regular get-togethers including our Book Club, Craft & Chat, monthly coffee mornings and a walking group. Something for everyone!

All ladies are welcome to join us - all ages, and you don't have to live in Snettisham. Do get in touch for more details.
