About this Event
Every Wednesday evening from 16 September to 25 November 2026, we will be offering an open invitation to enjoy a hot meal and conversation about faith, life, and God. Registering here helps us to plan the catering.
Everyone's welcome. You're invited, no matter your background or beliefs. It's free and there's no pressure to come back.
Every Wednesday

Dinner (please let us know if you have particular dietary requirements!)
Info: Alpha is made for people who are in the same boat – not sure about faith, but curious to find out more. You’ll meet people from your local community and get to know them over the course of your Alpha. Each session kicks off with some time to connect and eat together. Our team of volunteers prepare a delicious hot meal for us each week. It's helpful if you can let us know in advance if you have any specific dietary requirements.
🕑: 07:00 PM
Watch the Alpha video together
Info: The Alpha talks are shown on the big screen for everyone to watch together. Each talk is designed to spark conversation and unpacks a different question. In all, the Alpha talks are designed to give an overview of the key beliefs of the Christian faith.
🕑: 07:30 PM
Group discussion (with tea and coffee)
Info: The most important part of any Alpha – an open conversation about the week’s topic. You can share your thoughts and questions, or just see what other people made of it. There’s no pressure to say anything or come to any conclusions – just a safe space for everyone’s unique perspective.
