Silver Screen 5^th Wednesday of the month 1.30pm -3.00pm

The occasional fifth Wed gives us opportunity to watch a short movie together, and is often a flash back to the silent silver screen of the past.

Extra Senior Yearly activities

Senior Citizens’ meal and entertainment Sat eve at end of January

Retired people from nearby are invited to join together for a post-Christmas celebration with a generous meal and home grown entertainment, usually in the shape of a Pantomime.

August Holiday at Home

One week in August we enjoy a Senior Holiday Club from Monday to Friday. The days incorporate all aspects of each Wednesday activity with some themed fun activities thrown in for good measure. On the Wednesday we also go out for the day and enjoy a meal out together. The theme of the holiday week gives the clue to the mystery venue.

Advanced bookings only -limited spaces. If you are in St. Margaret’s Parish please contact us for a booking form in July.
