Tuesday Coffee Morning
Every Tuesday between 10:00 and 11:30am, we run a friendly local coffee morning at Holy Trinity, Paulton. It’s open to all and is non-religious. We always get a good selection of people and it becomes an important point in the week to catch up with each other and organise further village social events.
We have quality filter coffee and tea available as well as a good selection of cakes or biscuits. Donations from this have helped fund improvements to our Church back room.
TGIF Toddler Groups
TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) is a toddler and parents play session that runs every Monday and Friday in the back room. It is aimed at families with children aged 0-3. We always welcome new members and it is a great way for children to socialise and parents to chat with other parents from the village.
You will need to supervise your child and a small donation of 50p per session is taken to cover the activities and refreshments. It runs every Friday 10:00-11:30am.
