TRINITY CAFE

Trinity café is a regular meeting place for local people and neighbouring villages. It has developed into a well-established venue with a sociable and hospitable atmosphere, offering freshly made, home-baked cakes and pastries, delivered on the morning of our café. Hot chocolate, squash, fresh coffee, and a choice of teas all served in our collection of vintage china. All donations are divided between locally chosen charities and the upkeep of Trinity Hall. Cafes are held every second and fourth Thursday in the month.

The monthly Trinity Talks are held at the Trinity Hall and these cover a wide range of interesting topics Talks start at 6pm and last approximately 45minutes. They are followed by a question and answer session and drinks and nibbles. Click on the logo for the complete schedule and more information....
