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.
