St Philip and St James Churches in Ratby and Groby

Get Ready for Holiday Club Fun!
Summer is on the horizon, and that can only mean one thing — Holiday Club is nearly here!
Ratby church will soon be bursting with colour, creativity, and the kind of joyful chaos that only a room full of excited children can create.
This year’s programme is packed with all the favourites: big energy games, imaginative drama, brilliant crafts, and stories that spark curiosity and wonder. Whether children love getting messy with glue and glitter, stepping into the spotlight, or simply laughing with friends, there’ll be something for everyone.
Our team is already buzzing with ideas, and we can’t wait to welcome families back for more adventures. Expect surprises, silliness, and plenty of moments that make memories.
Holiday Club runs on Monday 17th & Tuesday 18th August.
