Rochdale church to host Camerados public living room

St John the Baptist Church

A free ‘public living room’ is being hosted at St John the Baptist RC Church in Rochdale every Wednesday.

Hosted by social movement Camerados, public living rooms offer a relaxed space with no agenda where attendees can meet new people, have a chat, enjoy a cup of tea, knit, read, do a jigsaw, or simply explore the magnificent church surroundings.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to take a guided tour of the church and marvel at its stunning mosaics.

Camerados says the public living rooms are “a no agenda space, where folk can go to just be themselves alongside others, they are warm welcoming places that offer no services just the company of fellow humans.”

Public living rooms are open to all with the one at St John the Baptist following others at Spotland Community Centre and Bowlee Pavilion in Middleton.

A representative from St John the Baptist Church said: “We are super proud to be part of something that brings the local community together.”

The public living room at St John the Baptist will be held every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm, except between 6-24 May when the church is closed for renovation work.
