As schools close for the summer, families looking for fun and engaging activities need look no further than their local church.
The National Churches Trust is encouraging families to explore church buildings across the UK this summer, highlighting them as ideal spaces for children to enjoy a variety of experiences. In a recent statement, the Trust said:
“After months of schoolwork, it’s time to have some fun.
Over the summer, churches are a wonderful place to explore with little ones. Whether they’re into drawing, crafting, discovering nature, stepping back in time or cycling, there are plenty of activities at churches to engage the whole family. And with tens of thousands of these buildings across the UK, you’ll never be far from one.”
With a mix of creative, educational, and outdoor opportunities, churches are providing families with easy access to low-cost summer fun. Many of the activities are designed to help children connect with their surroundings while exploring the heritage and beauty of church spaces.
The National Churches Trust encourages families to check local listings or visit their website to find events nearby.
