Baslow Choir
Every Wednesday (Sept to June)
7.30pm - 9.30pm
Baslow Choir is one of the leading mixed choirs in North Derbyshire and is based in the beautiful Peak District National Park. We are always looking for new members (especially tenors!) and are a friendly bunch. Please come along to one of our rehearsals.
Flower Circle
3rd Tuesday of the month (except Jan/Feb)
2-4pm
We are a friendly group who look forward to watching a new demonstration each meeting. Some members use these to build on their own knowledge of flower arranging and others just enjoy watching some amazing creations. Our demonstrators come from a wide area and show us many differing styles which provoke lively discussion, and we do learn a lot from each other. We would be delighted to welcome any visitors and prospective members.

Nationally, we aim to offer women the best opportunity to make an impact in their community, to influence local, national and world issues affecting the social, economic, and environmental lives of our families and communities and to learn new and traditional skills.
At Baslow WI we meet eleven times a year - we have a speaker or demonstration, followed by time for members to socialise and of course share tea and cake! In addition to these regular meetings, we have many outside interests; active crafts, cycling, lunch and walking groups, outings to places of interest and we support WI events around Derbyshire. WI Social Afternoons ‘WISA’ are proving very popular.
Baslow WI is active on social media and has a constantly updated website with full information regarding all our activities. Visitors are always welcome.
