Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

The ‘SOS Morcegos’ (SOS Bats) exhibition is on display at the Madeira Shopping Centre.

The exhibition aims to show how fragile the species is, especially from persecution due to superstitions etc. The exhibition is more than just information, as it includes images, games and multimedia resources, thus creating the right environment for everyone to learn about bats and their fundamental role in pest control due to their diets.

The exhibition is located on the 1st floor of the shopping centre, is free for everyone and open until the 10th of November.
