Age 4-10 Summer Holiday Club

Menu: S’Mores Cookies; Chicken Burger and Loaded Fries. Our new 4-10 holiday club has been designed so that siblings can come along to the same class! There will be plenty to keep the older children busy, whilst still remaining accessible and fun for the younger ones. Description: S’Mores Cookies – The children will make their own digestive biscuits and cookie dough for this delicious mash-up of two popular sweet treats! Chicken Burger with Loaded Fries – We will get busy learning breading, using gadgets, and combining flavours to create this yummy meal. They will (hopefully) take their cookies home (if they are not eaten!) so please bring along tupperware. In between making there will be colouring and activities in our dining room. We do provide water during the class but they are welcome to bring their own drink bottle. Important stuff: All children are dropped off and left with us for the duration of the class. There is a parental consent form to fill in when booking your child onto the class. Please let us know if they have any specific food requirements, health or educational needs so we can offer the best possible experience for them. Our holiday clubs are a fun and safe environment, this class will have up to 16 children attending, so they are noisy and busy.

Celtic Service

If you would like a little bit of peaceful reflection during the pell-mell of your busy week, then you are very welcome to join us at our Celtic Service on the last Wednesday of the month, starting at 5:00pm and lasting about 3/4 hour. Reflect, remember, hope for whatever is on your heart, bring yourself to God in the beauty of St Peters historic and beautiful church in the village of Poulshot. A candle, some music and scripture, often season based, you will be made most welcome. This is usually a Lay led service.
