WOKINGHAM LIONS CLUB
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
What Do Wokingham Lions Do?
We run numerous fund-raising events throughout the year, including:
#Woky Comedy Nights at the Wokingham Theatre
The Wokingham Classic Motor Show
Last year we raised over £70,000, while the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £55,000 for themselves. We donate most of the money we raise to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards scheme, but we also support families and individuals facing hardship.
We also donate around 10% to worldwide disaster relief and global causes via Lions Club International Foundation.
We provide services to the local community through projects like Message in a Bottle, ReTec, Spectrek, Lions Share, Can-Can and we support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

Wokingham Music Club (supporting Wokingham Lions Club) are excited to welcome back Deeper Purple as part of their Space Truckers Tour on Saturday 25th April 2026 at All Saints Church, Wokingham.
Deeper Purple are an international band delivering the most authentic tribute to the giants of rock, Deep Purple. The band perform for over 2 hours delivering energetic and blistering performances of classic songs such as “Highway Star”, “Black Night”, “Woman from Tokyo”, “Child in Time”, “Perfect Strangers”, “Burn”, “Mistreated” and of course their best-known hit, “Smoke on the Water”.
One reviewer of a gig in 2025 praised Deeper Purple as “ridiculously good” and “a darn tight band”, offering “the best reproduction of the Purple live sound you’re ever likely to hear.”
If you’re a Deep Purple fan, or just love classic hard rock with soaring guitars, unwavering vocals, thundering organs and tight rhythm—Deeper Purple is a stellar way to experience that legacy live. Even newcomers have been spellbound; as another reviewer put it, “If you’ve never heard of Deep Purple… you should still see Deeper Purple—that’s how good they are.”
What the stars said:
Steve Morse – Deep Purple. “The band sounds great.”
Joe Lynn Turner – Rainbow and Deep Purple. “Deeper Purple are one of the best Deep Purple tribute bands today.”
Danny Vaughn – Tyketto. ” If you love Deep Purple, this is the band you should see.”
