DENMAN COLLEGE

Denman College is the WIs own Residential Adult Education College near Oxford   and was named after the first National Federation Chairman, Lady Denman.  It 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 the WI.  The rich variety of courses last for 2, 3 or 4 days.

 Most bedrooms are lovingly maintained by the various County and Island Federations, which gives a unique feel to each room.  The bedrooms are either single, single en-suite or  twin and three bedded rooms for friends who like to share.  The elegant public rooms give everyone the welcome chance to relax and make friends.

 Subject to space, groups of 10 students or more may apply to make a block booking for customised courses.  A small group booking attracts a discounted price.

 If you are interested in staying at the College for either bed and breakfast, private study or as a base to explore the area you will be most welcome.  Situated within the grounds is the recently refurbished, thatched Fir Tree Cottage.  This cottage sleeps six and has a well equipped kitchen and sitting room.

 To apply for any of the above, please telephone: 01865 391991 or apply for courses on-line at
