Social Events

The Oadby & Wigston Lions Club members enjoy a variety of social events. Adults are welcome to join us as a guest of the club at our upcoming 'film night' social events - enjoy a free movie, discover what Lions do in the community, and how you can contribute to our local projects and fundraising events.

Film Nights

On the fourth Friday of each month (starting 24th January 2025) we will hold a monthly film screening for members and guests (starting at 7.00pm).
Venue: South Wigston Methodist Church Hall, 109-111 Blaby Road, South Wigston LE18 4PB

We choose general interest films that have recently been released to DVD as well as a few classics. Guests must be 18 years of age or over to join us. Feel free to just arrive on the night - but if you can let us know you're coming that would be great! We collect donations to cover our expenses and any profits are donated to one of the club's nominated charities. Snacks and hot/cold drinks will be available before the film starts and during the short intermission.

Film screenings take place at 7.00pm unless noted differently below - come along earlier if you'd like to help set up the chairs.
