Rainy Day Picks This Weekend

11–12 July Near Allesley 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 Allesley 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.

Messy Breakfast @ The Pit Stop

at Saint Thomas Church

Once every month there is a Messy Breakfast on a Saturday morning. Messy Breakfast involves sharing breakfast together, sharing in a craft or activity to help people of all ages explore a Bible story or theme, and drawing our thoughts together with a short reflection and prayer. Come and meet other people in this growing and vibrant community. There's something for people of all ages, and it's a great opportunity for families to take part together. Check our website for the date of the next Messy Breakfast.
