Maintenance & support at St Luke's, "The Bombed Out Church"

St Luke’s Church, known locally as the ‘Bombed Out Church’, suffered catastrophic damage during the May Blitz of 1941, leaving only its external masonry standing. Overgrown and inaccessible, the site lay derelict for over 60 years, before being cleared, and transformed by a series of cultural events, reopening the space to the public.

Today, 80 years later, the church has become an iconic arts venue and community space. Following a series of innovative installations within St Luke’s, it was reopened to the public in 2007, and has since played host to a phenomenal range of arts and cultural events, as well as community and wellbeing activities

Following our successful sessions here painting tables, benches and the host stand, we will be back to support this beloved local heritage site. This session we'll be planting an array of bulbs to prepare for a dazzling display of daffodils in the spring, and clearing back some weeds and bushes to maximise the space.

All tools will be provided but please bring your own gloves! And if possible, you may find it helpful to bring head/chest torches for both the run and the task, as we'll be working in the dark. Task Location: https://w3w.co/villa.gaps.odds
