Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Lynton and Lynmouth

10 picks around Lynton and Lynmouth, from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Lynton and Lynmouth

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 Lynton and Lynmouth, 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.

Bubble Church1

Bubble Church

at Christ Church Parracombe

Bubble Church is a free, puppet-packed, Jesus-centred, coffee-and-croissant-fuelled, 30 minute kids and families adventure. Here's the deal: you turn up at St Mary's for a croissant and a coffee, then you'll be guided to a 'bubble', and you and your little ones will share in 30 mins of song, story, puppets, and prayer. Bubble Church is held at 9am on every 4th Sunday @ St Mary's Lynton. Book here to let us know you're coming... You are more than welcome to just turn up but it would be so helpful if you could book in using the below link so we know for catering and craft materials purposes. https://tinyurl.com/4bmd2ycs
