The Mothers’ Union Group started meeting in February 2013 in the coffee shop area of the Minster. It is well supported by Diocesan members, non-members and visitors and raises funds for various Mothers’ Union projects, both in this country and abroad. In January 2026 it had changed its name to Mothers Union at Taunton Minster (MU@TM)
The group meets ten times a year on the first Wednesday of the month at 2.30pm . In February and December we have worship services. At other meetings we start we prayers and have a speaker. All meetings finish with tea and cake.
A “Breakaway Craft and Social Group” also meets on a monthly basis on the third Wednesday of every month at 10.30am in the Children’s Corner in the Minster. All are welcome.
Further information about Mothers’ Union can be found on display at the back of the Minster and also at:
The Committee can be contacted via the Minster Office.
We support MU projects such as the holiday scheme “Away From It All” which offers a break to those going through adversity and stress. We contribute to our local church family life as needs arise, e.g. bean bags, activity bags for children, books and bootees for Christening gifts, and various knitting activities for the local hospital and making Welsh cakes! We warmly welcome all: male or female, married or single, widowed or divorced, as long as they support the aims and objectives of the organisation.
