1Join us for a morning of messy fun. The session is FREE but please reserve your places so we know how many to cater for. All children must be accompanied by an adult. If child could please bring along a refillable water bottle that would be a great help. Link to book places https://tickets.myiknowchurch.co.uk/gb/NTEzMC0xNQ/t
