Children & Families

We hold Messy Church four times a year at Easter, Summer, Harvest and Christmas.

Messy Church is a church for children and adults at all stages of their faith journey and of any age.

Each session includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and food together.

It’s great fun and faith building for children and adults alike! Come and join us!

A very successful Parish Holiday Club was held at St Andrew’s in summer 2025, for the first time for many years, involving other local churches, and we ran one again in summer 2026.
