Also - every Wednesday...
The Dalston Darlings meet on the first Wednesday of each month where they aim to honour the tradition of the Women’s Institute, while reflecting the diversity and vibrant creativity of
Dalston.
The monthly meetings are an opportunity for women to get inspired by a series of talks by luminaries from the worlds of fashion, politics, literature and the arts and charities. Fundraising events and parties are thrown throughout the year, ranging from music events to designer sales, exciting excursions, craft to make-and-do events all with skilled artisans ready to teach everything from sewing to sex (or styling).
