Please note that this event will not be taking place between and
The Parish Church of Claydon & Barham,
Church Lane Barham Ipswich, IP6 0PT, United Kingdom

Totally informal drop-in for a cup of tea/coffee and somewhere to be warm and have a chat rather than sit at home. You can stay all morning or just drop in when out for a walk or a drive or just tending a loved one's grave. Dogs are very welcome if under control. An ideal opportunity to peruse the fascinating volumes of photos and history of Barham Church produced by the Church Recorders or the plans for the nearby Barham Meadows housing development . You can also peruse a branch of the Bacon Road Little Library which is hosted at the west end of the Church. This is a free library although for those who wish there is an opportunity to make a donation towards the work of the local Stowmarket and District Foodbank. We acknowledge a warm space grant from from County Councillor Chris Chambers' locality budget which enables us to heat the hall during the 2023/4 winter

This is a very relaxed Sunday evening event including crafts etc, short lively worship and a meal. It is aimed at families with young children from babies to young teenagers but all are welcome. We hold this on the first Sunday of every month apart from August. As we plan crafts and a sit down meal we appreciate knowing who is coming and any allegies etc. In July we have a barbecue for which we join with the rest of Church. If you plan to come any month please email [email protected] with your family details. However if you just turn up you will be made very welcome. Our aim is that you will be able to leave soon after 6 pm so little ones can get to bed.

Not held in August and in January it’s the 2nd Sunday
