The Rotary Club of Dunmow is part of a global organisation with approximately 1.2 million members across over 200 countries. The strength of a large organisation allows us to support our local communities and participate in global Rotary humanitarian projects.

We meet weekly for lunch at 12:45 pm at the Saracens Head Hotel in Dunmow.  This is to discuss community events, projects and simply to catch up.  We also regularly meet at other times for social events with partners, friends and guests.

Rotary welcomes anyone aged 18 and above with a passion for helping their local communities. We’re always delighted to welcome new members.

There is also a nearby club, the Rotary Club of Takeley.  They meet at an alternative day and time, fortnightly at 8pm on a Wednesday evening in the Little Canfield Village Hall, although the location does change occasionally, so please email to check.
