FUTURE EVENTS
We’re planning an ever-growing number of events to provide social occasions that will appeal to all ages and tastes. You don’t have to be a member of the congregation to enjoy our wonderful setting! Unless otherwise stated, all profits from all of these events will be put towards our work to maintain the historic fabric and grounds of the church for present and future generations to enjoy.

PAST EVENTS
We organise a varied programme of events all year round, with four or five fund-raising socials every years for members and guests, such as open gardens around the village; tasting evenings of wine, gin and sherry; cosy suppers in the Malt House opposite the church; formal balls; themed dinners; and summer jazz afternoons on the lawn.
We also hold a service of Nine Lessons and Carols on the Sunday before Christmas and in the summer a festival evensong with eminent visiting preachers.
Everyone is welcome to Friends of St Mary’s events, including non-members, but if you are a member, you will receive a discount on your ticket to every event – another great reason to join!
