Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Cook's Green
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 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Cook's Green, 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.

7BCP Evensong
Winter - the service is at 4.00 pm Summer - the service is at 5.00 pm The very popular and evocative BCP Evensong has returned. It now happens on the 2nd Sunday of every month. It includes a choir and is a lovely way to celebrate and pray in the evening for the week ahead. It uses the beautifully crafted and poetic traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer which reaches the parts other prayer books cannot reach.
