Open House

Open House is held in the Parish Hall / Church House on the last Wednesday of each month between 2pm and 4pm.

Tea and biscuits plus plenty of chat are provided for anyone who would like to take part in an afternoon's fellowship. A team of people provide lifts if needed.

In the past year Open House has maintained a steady number of visitors, not always the same people although there are a few 'regulars'.

Not everyone is a member of St Mary's family. Local people and visitors to the town join us from time to time.

The reasons for coming are many and various; some people are new to the town and want to find out more about the life of St Mary's; some have been bereaved recently; some are not able to leave their homes without help. Often members of the clergy join us; the rector sometimes brings his dog!

Whether people are talkers or listeners - or even both - whatever the age or situation, all are welcome. Open House is about informality and friendship.

See the forthcoming events page for the dates of the next Open House (and other events in St Mary's).
