ACTIVITIES
Church Life includes getting out and about into the community and the surrounding area. You are welcome to join us for any of these events – click the relevant link below to find out more.
If there’s a church-based event that’s missing from here please let us know!
Walkers will meet outside St. Peter’s Church at 9.30am, unless otherwise stated, from where we would normally travel together by car to the starting point.
You will need strong footwear, full waterproofs, a packed lunch and something to drink. Each walk could be up to 8 miles in length, so you do need to be reasonably fit to take part.

St. Peter's Art Group
St. Peter’s Art Group meets fortnightly on Monday afternoons in the Parish Centre, from 1:30-3:30pm. The group takes a break for the summer and starts meeting again in September.
Further details can be obtained from the Parish Office or from Ruth Robinson, the group’s co-ordinator.
The galleries on the right show some of the group members being creative, and the results of their work.
Keith Wills recently attended to critique the art and awarded three prizes to his favourites.
