Who is it for?

- Children must be accompanied by, and supervised by a parent or other adult with responsibility for them during Messy Church. There is a maximum of 4 children per adult (if this is a problem, speak to us first.)
- If one of the parents is working and can't join in the first part of the afternoon, they are welcome to join their family and us for the meal.
