An opportunity for families across the Northern Synod to have a day out together – meet old friends and make new ones. Priority will be given to those attending with children under 18.

The day will start and end at St James’ URC, 24 Pottergate, Alnwick, NE66 1JW but between 10.30am and 3.15pm we will be in Alnwick Castle which is 5 minutes walk away. The morning will be spent exploring the castle then we will gather for lunch and there will be a treasure hunt after lunch. We will end the day together at St James’ URC for afternoon tea and a time of celebration and worship. .

The expectation is that people will explore the castle in family groups with all under 18’s being accompanied by an adult who will be responsible for them throughout the day.
