Each summer the Parish of Mortlake with East Sheen team ministry hold a Holiday at Home week. Local residents of Barnes, Mortlake and East Sheen who are unable to get away for a holiday or would like more company during the summer are invited to join in either for a day or two or for the whole week.

In honour of the Olympics, this year’s theme was “a week in Paris”. With creative writing, flower arranging, jigsaw puzzle work, sharing poems, a play reading, singing, ukulele music, wonderful French themed food and a trip to Chiswick House, there was plenty to keep everyone busy and in need of a rest at the end of the week!
