Resonate is a space to explore life, faith, social justice, creativity and ideas (sometimes together, sometimes separately). Our evenings can look different each time from a speaker or panel, to a night of poetry, creative conversations about the influences of music, literature or art on someone's life, our winter Cider and Carols night, or our summer BBQ (that is just a flavour!). Held on the 1st Tuesday of the month. Join us from 7.30pm for mingling and food (soup & bread), talks start at 8 to finish at 9. All welcome.
