Sanctuary in the Wilderness


Many of us, at some point in our lives, suffer isolation, loneliness, poor health and life events which may lead to a reduction in our well-being. We hope that the activities offered will provide a place for anyone needing a listening ear, a kind word, a new challenge, some company or a change of scene and also for those who can offer to help provide these things.

Take a look below at the variety of events that we run throughout the month. Feel free to come and join us for as many as you would like. If you would like any further information regarding these events please do feel free to contact us at: [email protected]

Open Wilderness Worship.  An exciting alternative form of worship, outside, where we can experience nature in all its glory. Fun for all of the family. 

Open Sky Walks.  All walks depart St John in the Wilderness Church. Bring a packed lunch, water and all weather clothing. Pace is leisurely with short and longer options and leaders front and back.

Open Oven.  Make a loaf of bread with different options available. Chat while the bread rises and share delicious pizza while we wait.

Open Table : Curry and Chaat.  Shared meals, a time to connect and chat. Delicious homemade meal with meat, vegan, spicy and mild options available. £7 for adults, £4 for children. No booking required all meals served on first come first served.

Open Church.  Come for a tea or coffee and a slice of cake from 2.30 –4pm every Tuesday. Relaxed friendly atmosphere to sit, chat and knit (or other craft activity you wish to bring).
