Bring a friend\, or come by yourself.  \n\n\n\nHow silent will it be?  \n\n\n\nWe’re meeting in public\, so there will be some ambient noise. Feel free to bring headphones\, book lights or ear defenders if you want. We read together quietly with no expectation of talking.  \n\n\n\nDo I have to read?  \n\n\n\nYou can read anything in any format\, or bring along homework\, writing\, art or craft – anything you can work on quietly! Fancy a chat?  \n\n\n\nFeel free to stay afterwards and socialise – but there’s no pressure to do this\, and the club will officially end after an hour of reading.

SUMMARY:Open Days at Holy Trinity Church Dobcross
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nPick up our booklet containing a brief history of the church and tour the building at your own pace.

The top stage of the Tower is in the Italianate style with arcades and clock faces. The Historic Graveyard is open all day. \nThere is a slight downhill gradient on the stone path to the entrance of the church.
