St Mary de Haura – Fun for the whole family this summer!

The summer holidays may be a time when many activities for children and families take a break, but at St Mary de Haura it’s quite the opposite!

This year there is a range of activities for children of different ages in the church and churchyard. A highlight of the calendar at St Mary’s is the annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic, held on the first Sunday of August at 4pm. Bring along a teddy and enjoy song, craft, story time and refreshments – all within the beautiful setting of the churchyard. (We can’t promise the sunshine but have been lucky year-on-year with the weather and are hoping to continue our winning streak!).

Meanwhile, two of our regular and most popular activities for children and families continue during the summer holidays.

Mary’s Music – our weekly group for singing and music making for preschool children and grown-ups – takes place on Monday 7th August, 10-10.4am, for a ‘summer special’ involving lots of songs and rhymes and bubbles in the churchyard. And Toddler Time – our popular toddler group which runs in the church – will take place on Wednesday 16th August at 10am. Join us in church for songs, craft, parachute fun and more!

Finally, on Monday 21st August from 10.30am to 1.00pm we invite you to join us for a Family Walk, starting at St Mary de
