Since 2001, St Editha's has opened its doors to the local schools in the form of 'Open Door'.

In 2008 nearly seven hundred year five children visited us over a four day period and discovered a great deal about the church building and its history, the Christian faith and also about themselves. Whilst with us they not only take tours of the building but also take part in a workshop. Fifteen workshops covered a wide range of activities and included seed mosaics, boxes, mathematical models, quilling, calligraphy, dance and drama, pilgrimage, glass painting, stained glass, well dressing, banners, crosses, chalices & patens, & the Trinity.

The children had a great day finding out about everything and anything and at the end they took home whatever they made or a certificate. Take a look at some of the children's work in former years, and their view of the event, by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page.

If you're a teacher in the Tamworth area and have year fives that you would like to share in the open door experience at St Editha's, please contact the Church office using the 'Contact Us' link below.
