Calendar Girls

The true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund. The story of the Calendar Girls swept the whole world up in 1999-2000, when their ‘nude’ photos appeared in what was then known as ‘the 2000 Alternative WI Calendar’.

Released on 12th April 1999 & became a runaway success, selling out in the first week. Calendar Girls was inspired by the death of Angela Baker’s husband John, who died from

non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 54 in 1998. During his illness, John’s friends began to raise money, initially with the aim of purchasing a sofa for the visitors’ lounge in

the hospital where John was treated.

Nothing could have prepared them for the way their original calendar took off.
