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

2Our 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.

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.
