Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Waterhouses
10 picks around Waterhouses, from 9 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Waterhouses
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 Waterhouses, 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.

9Summer Sunday
I Am The Bread Of Life This week we'll have an 'open table' service with activities that will bring us together as a whole church family, with extra provision for our youngest members. We'll have activities, worship, hear from God's word and pray together. Join us for what promises to be an interactive and encouraging service. Our theme this week is I Am The Bread Of Life Summer at Jubilee – Summer SundaysSunday 26th July sees the first of our Summer Sundays at Jubilee. This means we will have slightly shorter meetings (10.30am – 11.30am) and that there won't be any children's work (FROG Club) or creche. Please do thank and encourage our children's teams as they have faithfully served us so well this year and deserve a well-earned break! To help us all engage with services over the summer, we'll be alternating our service formats between a shorter standard service, which will include our children and youth, and a more interactive service with activities, worship, a short talk and prayer response together as a family. This summer we're going to be looking at some of the 'I Am' statements Jesus made in the gospels and we'll be hearing from some new and returning speakers. Our hope and prayer is that as we discover more about Jesus this summer, we'll be shaped more into His likeness and bring the good news to those around us, whatever our age.

10Cafe Church
Revd Andy Gore Cafe Church is an opportunity to talk, to discuss, to explore who Jesus is and what it means to follow him while enjoying an afternoon tea together. It is church but perhaps not as you may have experienced it before. There is no set pattern as different people will lead it in different ways, but our heart is that anyone of any age will feel comfortable to join in. Cafe Church starts at 4:00pm on the fourth Sunday of the month because we know that Sunday mornings can be really busy with sport or other activities or because it might be the only chance when you can have a lie in. We look forward to seeing you soon and for you to join in the conversation.
