Light Party at St Oswald's Church

St Oswald's Church is hosting its Light Party on Saturday 31 October, from 4pm to 6pm. It's a free afternoon of family fun, games and crafts, and as the name suggests, it's all about things that glow and light up. The activities are set up so you can drift between them at your own pace, which is the way to go if you've got kids in tow.

There's plenty to keep small hands busy. You can carve pumpkins, paint lanterns, and decorate cookies, so there's a bit of crafting to take home. For something more active, there are doughnut games and a treasure hunt to work your way through. It's the kind of afternoon where you can spend as much or as little time as you like on each thing, and since it's all in one place, it's easy to keep the whole family together.

St Oswald's is the parish church for Tile Hill, and it describes itself as a sanctuary of peace and a centre for hope. It's a working church with worship every day: Sunday 10am Sung Mass, Tuesday 1pm Rosary and Wednesday 9:30am Said Mass, so the Light Party is one of the many things that happen there throughout the week.

Refreshments and hot food will be available to buy on the day, so you can grab something to eat and drink while you're there. The event is free, and there's no need to book — you just turn up. It runs from 4pm to 6pm on Saturday 31 October at St Oswald's Church, Tile Hill, Coventry, CV4 9PL.
