Founded in 1983…
The DBE in Tennessee is part of eight States in the DBE Southern District. Currently, Tennessee has three chapters. The Centre Court and Wimbledon Chapters, both in Knoxville, and the Kensington Gardens Chapter in Nashville.
If you live anywhere in the State of Tennessee, and you are of British or Commonwealth heritage, please reach out via email at dbeintn@yahoo.com if you would like more information.
We would love you to consider joining one of our chapters or even starting a new chapter in your area. We are currently hoping to form our fourth chapter in Chattanooga.
Below you will see some pictures of many of our members, social events, and fundraisers; be sure to visit our Facebook (@DBEinTN). We look forward to hearing from you!
Our two Chapters in Knoxville host an annual Christmas Tea and Fashion Show each December. We serve around 200 ladies with a traditional British tea and a fashion show and entertainment. Our annual fundraiser helps us support local charities and is a sold out event each year.
DBE Wimbledon ladies enjoying delicious light refreshments and each others company. No agenda, no decisions to be made, just plain old fun.
Centre Court chapter ladies enjoyed a productive planning meeting and delicious afternoon tea today.
There was a great turnout for Kensington Gardens' chapter meeting in Nashville, including one of their members' sister and mum-in-law visiting from Australia. Plus two VIRP (very important Royal people—the Queen herself and King Charles) attended! A little business, delicious treats and—as always—fine fellowship.
