Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Wollaston
10 picks around Wollaston, from 5 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Wollaston
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 Wollaston, 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.

2Summer Circus
Step right up and join us at Southampton Manor for our Summer Circus, a fun-filled afternoon of entertainment, games and summer celebrations for the whole community to enjoy. Enjoy live entertainment from Louis Bibbins singing summer classics, alongside a BBQ, summer refreshments, circus-themed games, stalls, a tombola and plenty of fun throughout the afternoon. Guests will also have the opportunity to take a personal tour of the home and discover what life is like at Southampton Manor. We will also be raising money in support of Mountbatten during the event.

85pm 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.
