| DATES FOR YOUR DIARY 2013 |
Where the information is in ‘black’ it has been organised by either the centre or organisations with Unitarian connections. Please contact the named contact if you are interested in attending.
Where the information appears in ‘blue’, the bookings have been made by small/large independent groups some of whom welcome new members/visitors. If you are interested in joining the events please contact for further information and contact details.
Information in ‘purple’ all relates to the  programme which is now in its third year at the centre.
Very often a ‘group booking’ will not have sole occupancy so there will be an opportunity to book another group alongside or even just come as a couple or individual. Again please contact about such availability.
