The National Churches Trust (NCT), the UK’s church repair and support charity, has launched ‘50 Things to do in a Church’, highlighting the range of activities and events that take place in and around church buildings and the many different ways that people use and experience churches and chapels.
The NCT writes:
‘50 Things to do in a Church’ celebrates the many and diverse uses of church buildings and asks the public to share their favourite things to do in a church or chapel…
As well as being places of worship, church buildings play a vital role in activities for the benefit of the wider community. It is estimated that nearly 90% of churches are used for community purposes as well as for regular worship.
Included in ‘50 Things to do in a Church’ are activities and things to see and do linked to music and the arts, the spiritual, helping the community, art and architecture, food and drink, history, nature and wildlife, and sport and leisure.
You can tell us about your favourite things to do in a church by filling in the form at the bottom of this webpage, on Twitter by using the hashtag #50thingsinachurch, on our Facebook page, at http://www.facebook.com/nationalchurchestrust, or email us at 50things@nationalchurchestrust.org.
