Welcome to Celebrate! We are a fresh expression of Church lovingly seeded from Tewkesbury Abbey in Priors Park for families who love to come together to have fun, get to know Jesus, grow together in faith, support and care for each other and those in our wider community.

We are an inclusive community where all are welcome. We particularly suit families of all ages as children are always present and fully involved.

We normally meet every Saturday 10.30am in Tewkesbury Abbey as a whole community . We also meet weekly on Zoom for our Bible study and at other times for family events, holidays, kids and teenage stuff and sometimes just for lunch!
Come and join us, we'd love to welcome you!

The Longest Yarn is an 80m 3D depiction of that fateful day, 6th June 1944, in wool art. With 80 displays, each measuring one metre in length, depicting scenes of the world’s largest amphibious invasion, The Longest Yarn is something quite unique and not to be missed. The scenes include the build-up to D-Day in England, the horrors on the Landing Beaches and the bloody inland battles.

There is no charge for entry but donations are invited. Suggested donation £5 per person. Tickets are not needed. Please check below for occasional times where the exhibition will be closed to visitors.
