In town shopping? Stop at WI House!

Our headquarters at WI House in Carlisle is open to members and visitors on Mondays from 1.00 pm until 4.00 pm and Tuesday to Thursday from 10.00 am-12.30 pm and 1.30 pm-4.00 pm.

 

Many members who visit 33 Lonsdale Street for the first time are amazed that such a beautiful haven of peace exists for their benefit. This is your house, so do call in when you are in Carlisle. Tea and coffee are always available.

 

At WI House you will be able to see the display of local WI's crafts which are in the Club Room. These are changed every few months so there is always something new to see.

 

Merchandise

Looking for ideas for gifts - there is a selection of WI merchandise for sale in the WI office. This includes recipe books, calendars, shopping bags etc. 

2012 Calendars now reduced to 50p.  Photographs of local landmarks are taken by our members and can be used as postcards later.  Each month has its own recipe.
