What's on in Rainton Bridge

Tyne & Wear, England

From craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to quiz nights that'll test your knowledge of Tyne & Wear trivia (yes, really) — Rainton Bridge has it sorted. Coffee mornings, farmers' markets, film screenings, book clubs, open mic nights, toddler groups, and the occasional village fête that runs like clockwork. All the events that happen in village halls and community centres and local venues that the big listings sites don't bother with. We check the parish council pages, the library noticeboards, the venue websites buried three clicks deep. If it's happening locally and it's worth knowing about, it's here.

St Mary's, West Rainton

St Mary’s sits in the heart of West Rainton village and provides many functions such as Eucharist services, Weddings, funerals, Baptisms and community events We are a friendly and inclusive church with a wide range of worshippers all enjoying the traditional form of Anglican worship. As we are currently in Vacancy and do not have a Priest in Charge our clergy team consists of Julian Ward who is our Licenced Lay Minister and Mike Whitehouse as our Lay Minister. We do have several local Priests and ministers who are giving their time to assist us in worship. All the decisions about the Church are taken by the Churchwarden and Parochial Church Council within the guidance of the Church of England. We develop our own services such as Café Church, our Remembrance Day service, and our Village Carol Service. We would be delighted to see you at our regular Sunday Churchwarden is Kevon Edis and you can contact Kevon via the details on the left. For wedding, baptism and funeral enquiries please contact our Churchwarden, Kevon, using the number at the left, or see 'Our People During Vacancy' at the left for contact details. St Mary's Church, a grade II* listed building, has stood beautifully in the village for 160 years. The church plays an important role in the community life of the Parish of West Rainton and Leamside. Over the past two years we have raised enough funds and grants to repair both our stonework and knave roof.
