The three rows represent morning, afternoon and evening events. Monthly events are shown in blue.
Forum
Every Thursday, 7:30pm in St. Mary's Church Hall
The Forum is an open and welcoming adult group that is about learning. We get together with refreshments (coffee, wine, nibbles, etc) and discuss a broad range of topics covering anything from faith, human development, history, current affairs, relationships, films, etc.
​
We have lively and fun discussions as well as covering serious points. We regularly have structured learning, for example Lent and Advent courses. All are welcome to contribute as you feel comfortable.

Organ Recitals

Lunchtime organ recitals are held in St Mary's Church on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1pm and last approximately an hour. The recitals will be preceded by bread and soup for all in the church hall from 12:00. There is no charge for admission but there will be a retiring collection to offset the series expenses.
The next recital will be on Tuesday 21st May when our visiting organist will be Richard Pearce – do make a date in your diaries! Richard is a fine organist and will present a programme of marvellous music on our magnificent organ.
The June recital will be on Tuesday 18th when our visiting organist will be local musician Brian Cotterill.

We welcome Mums and Dads, Grandmas and Grandads, carers and childminders. We have a selection of baby play mats, toddler toys, books and games for the little ones to enjoy, and we provide tea/coffee and biscuits (sometimes even home-made cakes!) for the adults.
​
The children have craft, singing and music activities each session and a shared snack time where they enjoy a variety of healthy snacks to keep up their energy after a morning of fun activities. We are a small and friendly group and we are pleased to welcome all new families. Come along and join in the fun! The cost is £2.50 per family per session.

Just to note that if the weather is warm please bring suncream, hats and towels as we are often outside with the paddling pool.
