DOZENS of people have enjoyed a Christmas crafting session with Salisbury Salvation Army.

Children and adults piled into the venue in Salt Lane on Saturday to discover tables laid out with festive-themed activities and a pop-up ‘come as you are’ Nativity play.

In total, 75 people gathered to enjoy the seasonal event which also featured music, competitions, stories and well-earned refreshments.

The Salisbury Salvation Army said: “Thanks to everyone who supported our Saturday Christmas Messy Church. It was great to share with you all and enjoy such a blessed afternoon together.

“A special thanks to our volunteer team and our Nativity ‘Players Theatre ‘ group for their fun but thoughtful presentation.

“Lots of wonderful crafts were created, carols were sung, and we even enjoyed a pop-up Nativity. God truly blessed us, and it was a joy to share the Christmas story together.”

The next Family Carol service is at 2pm on Sunday and Salisbury Salvation Army says all are invited to join.
