This is a child-friendly event and Ten Oaks volunteers have graciously offered to set up an activity for the younger children. Do you want to do this?
Julia thing allsaints because it's beautiful, seeped in history, and while she wanted a non-religious ceremony, she realized that the space itself would resonate with those who need their faith at this time. We recommend that you walk, take a taxi or bus to this venue as only street parking is available.
