Kemp Town Koalas

Unfortunately, due to current staffing challenges, we are not yet in a position to restart our play sessions. This was not an easy decision, and we remain very keen to resume them as soon as circumstances allow. We hope to be able to restart later in 2026 and will keep everyone updated..

This is just a quick reminder that Koalas is now on a Christmas break and will return in the new year!

We hope that you all have a Happy Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

BrightonStMary's Christmas Crib service takes place on Christmas Eve at 3pm (in the church), and you are all welcome.

You are all also welcome to join us for Midnight Mass that day, starting at 11.15pm, and for Christmas Mass on Christmas Day at 10am.

Following the Christmas Mass, we also have a free drop-in meal starting at 12.30pm.

Don’t forget today is the last Koalas of this year…2.30pm until 4!

Sorry for missing you all last week...but we'll be back tomorrow, between 2.30pm and 4, for our last Koalas session of 2025...do come and join us!

Unfortunately, due to staff shortages, we are unable to run Koalas this week.

We will see you as normal next Tuesday.

Kemp Town Koalas returns tomorrow...with toys and snacks...and heating! Plus hot cups of tea or coffee for the grown-ups!

Kemp Town Koalas welcomes all...including rainbow families...and mourns the death of transgender folx due to transphobia.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, and always, St Mary's stands with those who mourn the deaths of all transgender folx, particularly those who have died as a result of transphobic violence or through su***de.

St Mary's affirms the validity of transgender identities and welcomes all people, as their true selves.

It's Tuesday...so, we're looking forward to seeing some Kemp Town Koalas this afternoon!

SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) in Brighton & Hove has been extended and is open for all rough sleepers from tonight until the morning of Friday 21st November. Referrals can be made via www.thestreetlink.org.uk

It’s Koala day!

Come and join us tomorrow afternoon from 2.30pm, everyone is welcome!
