Our book club enjoyed a visit here after reading The Five by Hallie Rubenhold. We would definitely recommend the museum for all ages.

We are very much looking forward to supporting this year's Museum of Policing Open Day on Saturday 12th September 2026.

A free day out, with something for all of the family!

Come and chat to us about what it's like to be a volunteer Police Officer and how you could become one too if you're interested.

Cheshire Life has arrived

The September issue has just dropped through the letterbox, and we’re delighted to see our Literary Lunch at Hartford Golf Club featured.

Such lovely memories of a fabulous day, organised by our very own Pat, our Cheshire News Editor.

A wonderful event, a brilliant venue and, judging by those smiley faces, a very happy gathering of WI members.

Well done, Pat and all those who contributed in some way to make it a day to remember. And thank you to the team at Cheshire Life for supporting us.
