🌞 Pip & Jim’s Summer Events 2025 🌿

We hope you have a really lovely summer!

You’d be most welcome to join us for any of our summer services and events.

Summer is a season of warmth, friendship, and fun—and at Pip & Jim’s, we’re celebrating all of that and more. Whether you're after something reflective or something joy-filled, there’s plenty happening for all ages. From youth barbecues and stay-and-play sessions to a Jonah mini play and open mic night, there’s space for connection, rest, laughter, and wonder.

We’re especially excited about our day trip to Llandaff Cathedral, where our choir will be singing Evensong—travel with us by coach and enjoy a beautiful day out. There’s also a backpack blessing, badminton, CAMELOT lunches, a youth queer theology session, and a gala dinner with strings. Come and be part of it—we’d love to see you.
