A messy Church afternoon is being held in a Dorset village this weekend.

St Mary's Church in Maiden Newton is offering the afternoon of fun on Sunday, September 18 from 3pm to 4.30pm.

There will be the usual mix of arts and crafts, activities, a Bible message and a tea to finish.

On offer for primary age children will be the chance to make friendship bracelets, contribute to a giant collage, do a hedgerow creation and make food art.

The theme will be I am the Vine. Places don't need to be booked and people can just turn up.
