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
Last year we raised over £100,000, and we estimate our events helped charities raise at least another £100,000 for themselves. We donate most of the funds raised to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards.
We directly support families and individuals facing hardship.
We donate around 10% to 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, Recycled For Sight, Child Sight UK and Lions Share. We also support charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers with their activities whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it, organising great social activities for our members.

The Hijacked Hollies are coming to Wokingham Music Club on Friday 4th June at the Royal British Legion Winnersh!
The Hijacked Hollies pay tribute to one of the 60s and 70s most iconic British bands, The Hollies.
The Hijacked Hollies had their most successful year ever in 2025, which continued into 2026, performing to literally thousands of people at the Butlin’s ‘Festival of the 60s’, the Southern Motorhome & Campervan show at Newbury Showground, Warner Leisure Hotels, 60s themed weekends for ‘Yesterday Once More’ & ‘GN Holidays’, theatres and clubs – including 5 shows in Cyprus.
The Hollies had a total of over 30 chart hits, including 19 Top 20 hits, 17 of which were Top 10 and 2 No.1s, making them one of the most successful bands of their time, both in the UK and the US. In addition to their world-wide No.1 hit, 'He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother', there are so many other songs – ‘Just One Look’, ‘Bus Stop’, 'The Air That I Breathe', 'Carrie Anne' – the list goes on. Their place in music history was recognised in 2010 when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Following the retirement of The Hollies in 2026, The Hijacked Hollies will continue to pay tribute to the legacy of The Hollies and feature all the classic Hollies’ favourites, guaranteeing a hit-packed show.
The bar and doors open at 7pm with the music at 8pm.

Expect all the hits, including You Really Got Me, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Sunny Afternoon, Lola, Days, Waterloo Sunset, Come Dancing, and many more for a great night out!
