Family Funtime was started by the church members and is now mainly run by parents with church support. During the summer months it is held on Staffield Playing fields but during the colder parts of the year the gatherings are usually in the Methodist chapel or at Kirkoswald Church Institute (The Village Hall).
It consists of games, crafts, sports, a picnic snack and a lot of fun.
