Social events are an important part of our activities and our regular Spring AGM and Autumn Meeting are designed to be social occasions as well. In alternate years, we organise a Widcombe Festival, packing a variety of activities into June, as you can see below. Some of our more popular events are for members and their guests only, so if you are not a member, you should consider joining (Click Contact/Join above).
Our social events year begins on New Year's Day, when the Widcombe Mummers, sponsored by the Widcombe Association, make appearances at various venues in Widcombe.
The Garden Club meets throughout the Winter.
In 2010, an intervening year, we are holding a few Summer events including some sociable walks, a picnic on 12th June the eve of Widcombe Rising at the Palladian Bridge, the Widcombe Art Trail (brochure here: front & rear) and for those who have been disappointed by the lack of an opera in Widcombe in 2009, Bath Opera will be performing Mozart's Cosi fan tutte in The Academy Hall, which is in the Mansion at Prior Park College, on Friday and Saturday July 9 & 10 2010 with picnics beforehand on the lawn in front of the Mansion with its splendid views over Widcombe and Bath (full details in What's on - for a booking form, which gives brief details of WA events, click here.)
We hope our social programme will make people aware of the beauty and history of the area, and will help to bring residents together to meet their neighbours and make new friends.
Also in 2008 the Widcombe Association provided financial and moral support to the wonderful Widcombe Rising Street Party run by The Natural Theatre Company. For information on this and other Widcombe events, check out Widcombe.net. The next Widcombe Rising, also supported by the Widcombe Association, will take place on Sunday June 13th 2010 - a date for your diary.

We should like feedback on all events and suggestions for new ventures. Considerable organisation is involved, so if any members can help, for instance in stewarding or distributing posters, please contact Sarah Lewis on 315491 or email Sarahalewis@btinternet.com .
