Holiday Bible Week is a week-long event for children aged between 5 & 12, every year during the school summer holidays. Each year, around 500 children take part in a wide variety of activities – all centred around Jesus Christ and the Bible. During the week, children enjoy singing, games, puzzles, Bible stories and puppet shows. The days begin at 10am and ends at 3:30pm, and there is a parents’ op
