Visitors to the tent can enjoy a fresh cup of tea or coffee, take part in free family activities, enjoy entertainment on the stage or simply take time out from the busy-ness of the show!

The stage outside the church tent will be buzzing throughout the weekend, with performances from our church schools, local choirs and other musicians. There will be a chance to join in with ‘beer/ tea and hymns’ on Sunday afternoon, singing all the hymns you’ll remember from your school days!Inside of the church tent

This year’s families’ area will be reflecting on the importance of water and our rivers and how we care for this aspect of God’s creation.  There will be a chance to make free crafts to take home with you, or take time out to offer a prayer. The ‘Our Lady of the Wye’ statue will be on display following her journey down the river to raise awareness of pollution and there will also be an installation of river art using millsacks.

Sam Setchell, part of the planning team for the show, said: “The Church tent is a great place to take a break while visiting the show. While the children are entertained you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or fairtrade tea and a slice of home-made cake or a freshly made panini. There will be a range of books and other pocket-money gifts to browse as well as the opportunity to say a quiet prayer or talk to one of our chaplains.”the cafe team at the church tent

The Church Tent will be located on the corner of Avenue C and Row 3 at this year’s Three Counties Show. Bacon sandwiches will be served during the morning, along with filled paninis at lunchtime and home-made cake/ afternoon tea. There will also be worship each morning and afternoon.
