Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Croft (Warrington)

When the forecast has gone properly sideways, this page looks for nearby plans that are more roof-and-radiator than field-and-regret. It is our best rainy-day guess, so still check the organiser's details before you set off.

10 picks around Croft (Warrington), from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Croft (Warrington)

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.

Picked for Croft (Warrington), not somewhere halfway across the county.

Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.

Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Storytelling service - 2nd and 4th Sunday each month at 9.30am

at St Mary's Church

A relaxed and family friendly service for parents with young children. Based on Godly Play, the service begins with a song in the chancel before one of the children leads us through to our 'special place' for a story (told using wooden figures and simple scenery). The story is followed by a short time for prayer and then 'the feast' which comprises a biscuit and drink for the children. We then go back to the chancel for two more songs (usually noisy with instruments), after which the children have themed craft in our newly restored meeting area. There is a chair lift available for wheelchair users. Adults have tea, coffee and biscuits while their children engage in craft activities craft, although we encourage them to get stuck in as well.

BAMBOO

at Sallow Tree Concerts

The artists break through the crowds to the empty stage, brandishing a variety of bamboo sticks on which they climb, vault and spin. They discover bundles which unfold into towering sculptures, 6 metres high. The towers morph and evolve into an animated circus installation, with grace and poignancy, impressive feats of strength and agility, humour and humanity, and a sense of “never having seen anything like this before”.
