Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Embleton

10 picks around Embleton, from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Embleton

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 Embleton, 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.

Godly Grow5

Godly Grow

at Church of St Michael and All Angels, Felton

Godly Grow takes place at St Michael’s Church, Felton as part of the 11am Family Service on the 2nd, 3rd & 4th Sunday of each month for school-aged children. During Godly Grow, we experience a story from the bible, using toys and resources to bring it to life. We wonder about the story together and then respond to the story, choosing from items such as paint, craft, lego, clay or blocks. Finally, we share a feast!
