Little Lights Baby & Toddler Group

Little Lights is back at St Mary's Church Marshalswick on Wednesday 11 November, from 13:30 to 15:00. It's a stay-and-play group for babies and toddlers aged 0-5 and their grown-ups, and this session is part of a run that continues through to Wednesday 9 December. If you can't make the 11th, there are sessions on the 18th and 25th of November, and then on 2 and 9 December.

The format is straightforward: the little ones get stuck into crafts and play while the adults chat over refreshments, and the afternoon rounds off with stories and songs. It's designed for the kids to be busy and the grown-ups to have a bit of a break and a catch-up. No booking is required, so you can just turn up when it suits you.

St Mary's is a parish church on Sherwood Avenue, and Little Lights is one of several things it hosts. The church also puts on concerts and community activities, and runs a volunteer-led Saturday morning community coffee shop with complimentary refreshments and voluntary donations. It's a well-used spot in the Marshalswick area, so if you're in the neighbourhood, you've probably come across it.

Sessions run from 13:30 to 15:00, and there's a suggested donation of £3 per family. With the dates running through to 9 December, you can drop in for one or make a habit of it over the next few weeks.
