Messy Church
Make something. Share a meal. Explore faith together.
A relaxed, creative morning for the whole family.
A different way to do church
Messy Church brings families together through crafts, activities, worship and food. It’s a chance to get creative, ask questions and spend time together.
You don’t need to be a regular churchgoer or know anything about faith to feel welcome. Come as you are and join in.

Email Rev Louise TinniswoodA few things you might be wondering
Do we need to go to church already?
No. Messy Church welcomes families whether church is familiar or completely new. You don’t need any experience or knowledge of faith.
What if we’re not very good at crafts?
That’s fine! It’s about taking part and exploring together. You don’t need to make something perfect.
How do I check booking or cost details?
