Social & Cultural Life

A rich and varied cultural life, often highlighted by the celebration of the Christian Festivals through the rhythm of the year, is an important element that offers opportunities for everyone to take part and contribute.

Creative and artistic threads are constantly woven into the daily life, along with plays, music and informal get-togethers. A broad outlook on life is encouraged, and there is ample opportunity and encouragement for many interests to be pursued both in an individual and group situation within the wider community.
