Conferences and events at Denman College

Denman College: demonstrations and educational days

The WI has its own residential centre, Denman College, a Georgian country house set in 17 acres of land. The college runs many courses ranging from needlecraft and Scottish dancing to painting and car mechanics. We can offer companies and organisations the opportunity to meet and communicate with WI members through demonstrations or educational days:

  • Demonstrations: run through the Home Economic Unit to demonstrate products and hold ‘bake-off’ competitions
  • Educational days: cascading information, these can be hosted by companies wishing to raise awareness of a specific product or issue.
    Flora Pro-active, for instance, wanted to promote their new ‘blood pressure’ drink and asked Dr Chris Steele of This Morning to talk to WI members at the college about blood pressure.
