Adults

Across the parish we have a variety of activities and events that are run specifically for adults.
We love to welcome people to church, no matter your age or previous involvement with church!
Both St Mary's and St Christopher's host community projects with activities for adults to get involved with, through the work of the Good Neighbour Project and the Vine Centre.
Community Cafes also run there through the week.

The Vine Centre

At St Mary’s, the Vine Centre runs a busy programme of activities and events for older people in our community through their Over 55’s Day Centre.
In the past these have included: crafts, prize bingo, quizzes, reminiscing, gentle exercise, table top games, and baking or cooking.
The Vine also works with local partners to provide affordable family days out, and runs a Community Café.
