Sat­urday 2nd August at 2:30 pm — the Par­ish will be hold­ing a “Win­ter­fest” high tea and con­cert, in the par­ish hall. 

This is a major fun­draiser for the par­ish, and we would value your attend­ance and assist­ance if pos­sible. Please let your fam­ily and friends know in advance to secure the date in their diar­ies.

We all thor­oughly enjoyed last year’s “High tea in July” and we are sure this year will be just as great.  Unlike last year the ser­vice of food will be sim­pli­fied

to a main buf­fet table where you will help your­self to hot food, then scones and cakes!

We will how­ever serve the mulled wine and tea and cof­fee to your tables. The con­cert pro­gram is yet to be arranged but I’m sure it will be very enter­tain­ing!
