I took my husband as a surprise.
His initial response on arrival was “we aren’t staying in there are we? Spooky…” but once we were in and put the twinkly lights on he agreed it was really amazing and mad at at same time. But such an amazing way to keep these historic buildings alive. We loved using the leaflet to find all the ancient artefacts in the church. It was incredibly peaceful and we were snug in our duvet wool blankets and thermals… if anything we were too hot with our dogs in the mix. For hundreds of years churches were sanctuaries and places of refuge. It felt like the church took us in and kept us safe for the night. And if it was spooky it was only the ghosts keeping watch over us.
