The Church of England is represented by All Saints Church where several scions of the ancient Cheshire Booth family are buried.
The village has a football club, Thelwall Rangers A.F.C. and a cricket club, Thelwall Parish CC.
Thelwall also has its own Morris Dancing team, the "Thelwall Morris Men", and its own amateur dramatic group, the "Bridgewater Players",
During the summer months, Thelwall hosts its very own Rose Queen, an event that the residents are very proud of as it has now been running for well over 50 years. The event hosts the biggest float parade in the locality, featuring a different theme every year. The whole community comes together and makes for a very special day. Scouts, schools and residents take part in the parade every year. Each year its popularity has increased, getting bigger and better, with more attractions and ever more stalls set up on Thelwall Parish Field.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.”
—Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
“The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
