Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Hartwell

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

25–26 July Near Hartwell

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 Hartwell, 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.

5pm Taize Service on the 4th Sunday of the month

at St Michael & All Angels Church

This is a different style of Christian worship in which people arrive and leave in silence. It is an informal, short reflective service in the Taize style, with worship from the Taize community in France, interspersed with silence and a Bible reading. Feel free to sit and enjoy the worship, sing the words if you so wish, and rest in God's presence.
