Top Picks
A tidy shortlist for families who would quite like to leave the house without spending half the morning opening tabs. We keep it local, useful, and blessedly free of events that tell you absolutely nothing.
10 picks around Whittington (Shropshire), from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
These picks come from the same behind-the-scenes legwork that powers Near Here. We check a frankly silly number of local listings, then keep the family-friendly ones that are nearby, properly described, and worth recommending.

The 10.30am service includes groups for children and young people. Services follow a contemporary liturgical style in a fairly relaxed way and typically last between 1¼ to 1½ hours. There is a crèche room that some parents choose to use as you can see and hear the service without being heard! Most of the congregation will stay on for tea and coffee after the service.
