Family craft workshop — Franciscan weekend | St. Laurence

for 4 hours
St Laurence
High Street Winslow BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3AB, United Kingdom

Celebration of the 800th Anniversary of St Francis 9th-13th September 2026

Come and repurpose household waste to make a bug hotel or animal sculpture over burgers and hotdogs and learn all about the Winslow Womblers.

For this event we need empty plastic bottles 500ml or 1 litre, we need any clean waste plastic tubing up to 2cm in diameter, such as old garden hose, hula hoops or straws. Old bamboo canes would also be good if they’re cut down into 15-20cm lengths. We’d also like clean, dry, paper pamphlets/booklets such as the Buckingham ‘Focus’ or the Winslow Parish Magazine or others of a similar size & thickness (A5 or smaller with at least 50 pages).

There will be big collection buckets with full details of the kind of things we need in St. Laurence & St. James churches.

Thanks very much. Any donations would be hugely appreciated.

St Laurence

Welcome to St Laurence Church, Winslow. 

The people who make up St Laurence's are a vibrant community who love celebrating life in God and who try to be supportive to one another in good times and in bad.

The church sits in the centre of town near Market Square. You would be very welcome to join us for any of our services or events, to visit this historic building or simply to come in for a quiet time of reflection and prayer. 

Our worship is a mixture of styles. We have a large all-age choir and an enthusiastic congregation who are warm and welcoming. 

We aspire to be a fully inclusive church and welcome people of any age as well as those with protected characteristics and members of the LGBTQI+ community. Our church is served by ramps into and out of the building for wheelchair users and we have installed a new sound system with improved loop services. We have a servery at the back of the church which serves refreshments after each service, and toilets and baby changing facilities in the adjacent St Laurence Rooms.
