Worshippers in Badshot Lea will be heading into the fresh air on Sunday, August 31, when the congregation holds an outdoor service and picnic.

The service will be run by the Revd Lexi Russell of the Parish of Badshot Lea and Hale and will take the form of a communion service followed by a picnic.

Ms Russell said: “Come and worship God in the outdoors and give thanks for the beauties of creation. Everyone is welcome and the idea is to bring your own chairs, picnic blankets, picnics and your friends, or make new friends while you are there.

“There will be some gazebos to provide a bit of shade or shelter and the garden will be open for everyone to visit too.”
