The Victoria Institute lies at the heart of Caton adjoining the immaculate War Memorial garden.

The Victoria Institute is a very popular meeting place for our rural community of villages and hosts a wide range of activities and events including Line, Square, Sequence and Country Dancing, Badminton, Parent and Toddlers, Women's Institute, Dancing Lessons, Leisure, Friendship and Senior Citizens Clubs, Indoor Bowls, IT drop-ins, Gardening and Cactus Clubs, Step Class, Self Defence and Adult Education classes including Tai Chi (see 'regulars'). The Institute also hosts parties for old and young and special celebrations, and a variety of one off events such as shows. We are always looking for new activites to enrich our village life!

The Institute has been refurbished and extended in the last 9 years as a  beneficiary of two major grant funded projects (see 'history') which transformed it into a comfortable, well equipped venue, with facilities for the disabled, induction loop, and wireless connected multi-media facilities (see 'room details').One of main features is that the building is all on one level and all rooms  are easily accessible. 

We operate a Drop in IT service of computer use which is available from Monday to Friday 9.30-3.30pm with support from Judy, so why not come in to use the facilities.  If you ask Judy she will make you a hot drink and help you access the computers.  Currently we are running 3 IT courses, one for Beginners, Improvers and  Advanced users .  Names are being taken for new courses starting in January ring Judy to book.   

As many of you know we are currently looking for funding to upgrade the Institute we will try to keep you up-to-date in our news section so why not take a look.
