This informal service runs throughout most of the year, but takes a break in August.
We begin, together, for singing and to hear the Bible (often presented in dramatic form) before choosing from a range of activities - quiet reflection, craft, Bible study in English or in Farsi.
We then come back together, to share what we have done and learned, and some weeks we end with eating a simple lunch together.

Once a month the Minster is filled with stalls selling vintage goods and a wide variety of crafts all made locally. There is jewellery, glass, knitted goods, woodwork, cards, gifts, sweets and loads more. Refreshments are available from the Minster café throughout the fair

Tables may also be available - for further details contact the Minster office on 0191 565 4066.
