Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Hilton (Shropshire)

10 picks around Hilton (Shropshire), from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Hilton (Shropshire)

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 Hilton (Shropshire), 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.

Waking the Dawn1

Waking the Dawn

at Church of the Good Shepherd

We have met almost every Saturday morning since April 2016 and have experienced some incredible times as we have prayed and worshipped together. It is a growing group but there is still space for anyone who wants to join us, and you would be very welcome as we worship God, push into his presence, bring before him the needs of our communities and pray for the Holy Spirit to come and heal our land.
