Rush Saturday Community Day


On Saturday 18th May We will be celebrating all things Rush and Redcliffe by holding a Fun Day at Faith Space and the South Church Yard. Our event will start at 1 pm and go on until 4 pm.


We will start the day making up fresh flower posies for Sunday's Rush and hopefully talking to the community about why and what they are for. Along with that in the same space, We will be decorating cakes with iced flowers, petals .and leaves. This will all be joined together with our arts and crafts tables. As well as all these wonderful hands-on things We will have a bouncy castle and professional face painter to keep the fun rolling along. We will be kicking a few footballs about in the South Church Yard to test your skills in our new goals that We will have there. Our Rush funday just wouldn’t be the same without food and drink, Therefore We will be running a BBQ for meat eaters and non meat eaters alike.


An amazing group of volunteers will be there from 12.30 to help set up and then run the event right up until 4pm and beyond. We know it will be a fantastic day, so come along and enjoy joy the fun,


ITS GONNA BE A GOODIN

We've seen lots of amazing work in the visitor services department so far this year. SMR stewards have generated over £4,500 donations between January and April 2026 and welcomed over 5000 visitors to the Church. We are welcoming new tour guides to the front of house team with the eventual goal to expand the number of tours we are able to offer to the public. Janet and Reuben have both done their first tours and have received wonderful reviews from visitors. If you are interested in volunteering on the front of house team please contact me on lucy.marshall@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk . We have had some amazing feedback from our outreach events as we aim to welcome not only those familiar with SMR but also those that have never been before. These have included film screenings, talks and most recently the Redcliffe Sessions which raised just under £150 for our Lent charity partner, CALM. Thank you to all those who have supported these. The next Redcliffe Session will be in support of SMR and will feature Bristol band Dogsbody on guitar, cello and violin, and songwriter, Alex Pester on 13th June. I am very excited looking into the rest of 2026 for our future events run both in house and by external hirers, more information of which can be found on our website. If you are interested in volunteering at any future SMR events please let me know! Lucy Marshall Visitor Services Coordinator 06.05.2026
