Church Explorers!

Looking for something simple to do with the kids for half an hour or so - perhaps on your way to the park or into town? Why not pop into St George’s and explore the church together?

The church has created a free adventure trail for younger children – just pick up a trail sheet and start exploring! It's a chance to discover the building, spot hidden details and enjoy a little adventure in a cool and special place.

It’s ideal for families, grandparents, carers and primary-aged children looking for a fun and engaging activity. It's ideal for children who are home schooled, and those looking for a free activity during the school holidays. Everyone is very welcome.

Check St George's website or socials for school holiday opening times, which will vary.
