A summer gathering at Englesea Brook
Getting together at Englesea Brook

As well as being able to visit our Chapel and Museum from the start of April until the end of October, you can join us for events throughout the year, some on site, some online.

Our 2026 programme is packed full of exciting events such as: our Friday Forum Theatre productions; Easter activities for all the family, including storytelling; a weaving day; our book club; and our summer BBQ and quiz…to name just a few! Many of our events will reflect this year’s themes and exhibits, including the general strikes of 1842 and 1926.

If you need a quiet space for meditation you can visit our Community Peace Garden – a space where all are invited to come and rest and reflect on peace within ourselves, our communities and in the world. In the museum, meanwhile, you will find words and objects exploring peace and its absence and how the Prims conscientiously objected to warfare and peacefully protested the rights of an individual to education, fair work and good living standards.

For younger visitors there are activity bags, trails and fun challenges. And of course there is cake! The tea room will be open selling light refreshments and home-made cake. We also have a gift shop for souvenirs, books and toys.

We hold Community worship in our chapel one Sunday a month, normally at 3pm.  Details can be found in our events list on this website, and will be publicised via our Facebook page so please keep a lookout for changes to our schedule. 

Outside of our open season you can join one of our Saturday morning Methodist Heritage Talks via Zoom.  Our speakers are chosen because they can throw light on many topics with connections to Primitive Methodism and its history, and audience members can take an active part by putting questions to them directly. Our next talk will be in October and we will update this page when we have further details.

We also run a short series of study sessions for Lent and Advent. The sessions are held online and provide a lovely opportunity to meet and share with people from other churches (or none) in a welcoming, informal and open atmosphere.  All are welcome.

Best wishes, everyone!
