The Open Monday Eventbrite page (Here) will be kept updated in case any Monday cannot be “Open” So please check (and book a free place) in advance of coming About the Open Mondays Open Mondays are quiet, welcoming times when the Salisbury Centre is simply open — for people to arrive without an event, a ticket, or an agenda. To use the Library, spend time in the Garden, read, reflect, or just be. Each Monday, 10:30 – 14:30, The Salisbury Centre doors are open for you to come and enjoy. Please note: this isn’t a structured event, but simply an opportunity to do your own thing in the space of the Salisbury Centre. There will be a volunteer on the day who will welcome and show you around, as well as point out places where you can find out more information about our events and offerings. If you’ve been around for a while and feel at home at The Salisbury Centre, why not host Open Mondays for others?

BREAD Bitesize

BREAD Bitesize is a weekly reflection on one of the Scripture passages from the previous week in our BREAD Bible Reading Plan. Written by a member of our BREAD team, it aims to encourage and support your ongoing engagement with Scripture. Think of it as a devotional in retrospect, sharing what we've seen or heard in Scripture as we've read. Sign up here to join the BREAD mailing list and you'll receive Bitesize directly to your inbox every Monday. As a church, we don't just want to encourage you to read Scripture—we want to share what we're reading as we follow the BREAD plan together.

The Cheyne Gang - Room 4

Wee Duncan Room Whether you're already an avid builder, never picked up a LEGO brick before, or it's just been a while, join us and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly social setting. Our group is growing. We welcome new members each time. In addition to the creative benefits, building with LEGO can be therapeutic and a great tool to reduce stress and anxiety. Cost Although registration on Eventbrite does not require an online payment, there's a small cost of £1 per person to be paid at each session by cash or card. If paying by cash, it would be great if you could bring exactly £1 to save having to make lots of change. We also have a card machine available for card payments. This group is strictly for adults aged 16 and over. Recent LEGO article about the benefits of LEGO building for adults: Over the past few years, more and more people have been using LEGO® building to help them practice mindfulness. In 2019, we even teamed up with DK Publishing and the author Abbie Hendon to publish a self-help book entitled ‘Build Yourself Happy’, which contains more than 50 mindful LEGO building activities and tips. (We’ve featured some of our favorites below!) Yet despite the growing popularity of mindfulness, there remains some confusion surrounding it.

Please email: About the Event: Joseph Pilates believed that sickness and disease were mainly due to “modern” lifestyle, bad posture and inadequate breathing methods, which led him to devise a series of exercise and training techniques. It involves strengthening of the core with alignment, breathing, coordination and balance. The Pilates method strengthens lengthens and rebalances the body to work as optimally as possible. About the Facilitator: Tonde Moyo My journey with the body began in my twenties with martial arts, which I currently teach to adults and children. I continued my development with the study of massage, gym instruction and sports therapy. During a period of injury I began Pilates classes. I enjoyed it so much that I enrolled on a course to become a Pilates instructor. 6 years later, I still find joy in teaching and self practice. Suggested donations: This event is on a suggested donation sliding scale.
