Messy Cathedral is a monthly session aimed mainly at primary school children and their families, but siblings of all ages welcome and come together in a relaxed environment, it is Christ-cantered and based on creativity, hospitality and celebration.
Originating from ‘Messy Church’ (a nationwide initiative set up for families to enjoy fun and creative activities together centred around Christian values and teachings) we aim to create a relaxed space for families and children.
Each session a will explore a different theme by way of stories, crafts and prayer.
