Rainy Day Picks This Weekend

11–12 July Near High Flatworth

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 High Flatworth, 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.

Our 10 picks near High Flatworth

FEAST5

FEAST

at Sunderland Minster

This informal service runs throughout most of the year, but takes a break in August. We begin, together, for singing and to hear the Bible (often presented in dramatic form) before choosing from a range of activities - quiet reflection, craft, Bible study in English or in Farsi. We then come back together, to share what we have done and learned, and some weeks we end with eating a simple lunch together.
