About Denman College

Denman College is the WI's own Residential Adult Education College near Oxford, and was named after the first NFWI Chairman, Lady Denman.The Georgian Masterpiece of Denman College
Denman College is a graceful Georgian house, set in 17 acres of beautiful grounds. Most of the money needed to buy, develop and maintain the College over the years has been raised by members of  the Women’s Institute.
All of our 72 bedrooms are en suite. The college has two twin-bedded rooms especially adapted for the use of guests with physical disabilities and their carers.Bedrooms are lovingly maintained by the various County and Island Federations, giving a unique feel to each room. The elegant public rooms give everyone the welcome chance to relax and make friends. Over 80 students can stay at Denman at any one time. The College’s Dining Room caters for all diets.Example of one of the newly refurbished rooms
Every year over 6,000 students from all over England and Wales attend some 500 short residential courses to develop new skills and knowledge, start a new hobby or purely for pleasure.Computer suite at Denman College
The friendly, peaceful and comfortable atmosphere is an ideal setting in which to learn. The rich variety of courses, which last for two, three or four days, is breathtaking and many students return again and again.
Denman College is committed to providing high quality adult education for all. Some courses give you the chance to gain external recognition for your work . However for many visitors, fulfilment comes from "learning for learning's sake".
From time to time, outside organisations sponsor all or part of the cost of students coming on specialist conferences. Delegates are selected from shortlists sent in from their federations and are required to cascade the knowledge they have gained to their fellow members.
