Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Draughton
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 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Draughton, 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.

3Life Groups
Our Life Groups at HBC are typically made up of 6-12 people of all ages and backgrounds, who want to learn more about Jesus and how to follow Him in everyday life. We do this by studying the bible, asking questions, and discussing our experiences and knowledge together, and supporting each other through prayer. We often have a topic or book that we study and reflect upon. Sometimes all our groups follow the same topic or book and this shared "theme" is continued in the talk at our Sunday service.
