Events & Community Spirit

Friends of Iffley Village (FOIV) helps foster Iffley’s strong community spirit by creating opportunities for neighbours to come together, connect, and feel a sense of belonging. We do this through an annual party, our Annual General Meeting, and a range of other community events during the year.

We work closely with other local groups in Iffley — including Friends of St. Mary’s, Iffley History Society, Iffley Music Society, Iffley Film Nights and Living Stones — to co-host events and share information across the community.

If you’d like to get involved in planning or hosting community events, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Laura using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
