Teatime Church Family Services
Our next Teatime Church Service is on 15th February.
Our Teatime Church services run on Sundays from 4pm until 5.15pm roughly once a month. They include fun, themed craft activities; toddler toys; baby corner; LEGO play; interactive worship songs; a short reflection and supper for all the children and tea and cake for the adults. Please visit the Teatime Church page for more details. You can sign up for monthly Teatime Church newsletters, containing details about our Children’s Services and Events, here: https://www.westbury-parish-church.org.uk/contact-form/
Church Search and Find Trail
We have a brand new search and find trail in the church based on the animals shown with Saint Francis in the window, which is located at the back of the church above the children’s toys. You are welcome to visit the church when it’s open to search for the animals. Trail sheets are available at the back of the church or from this page.

Community Fair: 9th May 2026
The date of our next Community Fair is Saturday 9th May 2026!
10am Sunday Services
Families are very welcome at all of our services, including the weekly 10am Sunday service. Older children might like to join our weekly Sunday Club, which takes place upstairs during these services (see below). Younger children are welcome to use the toys/colouring sheets in the boxes at the back of the church and play on the carpeted area. St Paul’s Room at the back of the church is also available if you would like to take a younger child in there while you listen to the service on the room’s speaker.
Special All-Age Worship Services
Our special services take place during specific 10am Sunday services such as Mothering Sunday, Harvest and Christmas. Young children play a particularly important role in leading these services, often taking part in a special presentation and reading the prayers and passages. Toys and activity sheets are available at the back of the church for babies, toddlers and young children. The services are very accessible for young children and can be enjoyed by a family together.
Sunday Club
Sunday Club runs during most 10am services on Sundays. Children join Sunday Club after an initial welcome in church and return to church for the Eucharist. Please check the calendar for the latest dates.
Toddlers Together
Our friendly parent-and-toddler community group takes place every Thursday during term time from 10am to 11.15am at Westbury-on-Trym Methodist Church Hall. There are lots of baby and toddler toys, craft activities, singing, hot drinks, squash and snack and a final, interactive prayer at the end.
Attendees are asked to pay a £2 voluntary donation to cover running costs. All are very welcome! For further information, please email Georgie or see our Toddler Group page.
