The messy church event is held at St Mary’s Church, in Church Road.

Plant pots, cereal boxes and even the odd copy of the North Somerset Times was put to use in a creative way by the youngsters who showed how imaginative they could be with their decorative creations.

The messy church events are designed to allow the children to get to know other youngsters of a similar age in the village, while being fun at the same time.
