Families are warmly welcomed to St Giles and to use the area especially created for children. Unfortunately we cannot at present supervise your children during the service on any regular basis, but do please feel able to sit in there with them. If the children are old enough, they may move in and out of the area as they wish, joining us in the pews from time to time.

There's usually tea, coffee and biscuits (and sometimes cake) available after morning services - please feel free to join us...
