What's on in Waterloo

Herefordshire, England

Village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about — Waterloo keeps its social calendar fuller than you'd expect, and here's the lot. From craft workshops and farmers' markets to quiz nights and coffee mornings, talks and screenings to book clubs and bingo. The events that make a place feel like home rather than just somewhere you happen to live. We've scoured parish council sites, library listings, venue pages, and community noticeboards to find everything happening near you. The stuff the big sites miss because they're too busy listing festivals fifty miles away.

St John the Baptist

We hold our services on the third Sunday of the in the morning, mainly alternating between a Eucharist and a more informal service of prayer and praise. We welcome families and are child and animal friendly; we hold an annual Pet Blessing Service in the autumn and a local donkey regularly takes part in our Carol Service. Our fundraising and special events are well supported and organised through our informal neighbourhood network. The church, which is on the route of the Wye Valley Walk, dates back to the 12th century.
