British Museum Exhibition Previews
LWEWI are part of the BM's community outreach programme, and as such receive invites to community previews of major exhibitions before they open to the public. We hope to attend a few exhibition previews this year including the Hiroshige exhibition in April and the Ancient India exhibition in May Note that tickets for these events are only available to members. Exhibitions and events | British Museum

Cake Sales

We aim to have at least one cake and craft sale a year. Crafters and sellers always required. All money raised goes towards maintaining LWEWI's programme full of interesting speakers. We are confirmed for tables at the Soho Fete on Sunday 20th July

Social Club

We have a varied programme of social events for members, organised by our Social Secretary, Neelo. There's something to suit every pocket, with walks, theatre trips, meals, exhibitions and much more. Events take place on a variety of dates/times and are arranged via our private WhatsApp group which all members are invited to join.
