Community Cafe visitors from Holly Lodge

St Mary’s has a Community Cafe on Fridays in term time, 10am-1pm. It’s a lovely coffee morning where everyone in the community is welcome to come for a cuppa, chat to friends old and new, and lunch is served at 12.

Imagine our excitement when we were joined last week by some wonderful young people from Holly Lodge! They were brilliant at helping to host, passing the biscuits around, setting up the marble run for the little ones, and even helped us with our posters for the Macmillan coffee morning that is coming up on 26th September. They were a joy to have visiting us, and everyone really enjoyed the duck song too! What a lovely thing to do for Community Week, you brought a lot of smiles to all our faces!

Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you all again soon.
