These ‘sold out’ events welcome the whole family, including grandparents! and have extra special entertainment. Our most recent Chanukah and Purim events saw over 100 attendees, and were hugely enjoyed by all.
We are mainly online at the moment but slowly starting to meet again in person where safe to do so and people want to.
There is still so much going on so please jump in.
