Women's Institute

The WI exhibit at the show is their biggest promotional and social event of the year and 2008 is an important year - the WI's 90th in Cornwall.

In Cornwall there are about 170 Women's Institutes (WIs), with almost 4,500 members, representing a lot of talent, a strong voice, and a great opportunity for friendship, education and mutual support.

That talent shows in the well-supported competitions and the prestigious Royal Cornwall Cup is presented to the winning WI on the first day.

Education, socialising and friendship are key WI aims. You can sit down and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee (from proper china cups!), browse around the competition entries, publications and craft work and meet some of the members.

Country Markets Ltd, although not part of the WI, have a section within the marquee. If you want to talk about surfing and sailing, recycling, music, photography or painting and so much more, this is the place to be!
