Children
St Michael’s welcomes children of all ages. There is an area in the church with a carpet and toys and activities for the use of small children during worship. Please do not feel anxious if your child becomes restless during the service but if you feel you would like a bit more space there are also toys in the Lady Chapel which adjoins the main part of the church and you will be able to hear the service from there. At present we cannot offer crèche facilities but we are hoping that we will be able to do this in the future.
