Other events
Advent Trail
From 1st December, there will be ten specially decorated Christmas trees to find around the church – can you find them all?
Each tree has a special Christmas prayer or wish, plus a hidden letter. Your challenge is to find all ten letters, which can be combined to make two words associated with Christmas. Good luck!
Christmas Tree Sale
This year’s Christmas tree sale by the Bellringers will take place in the churchyard on Saturday 5th December between 9am and 2pm.
For more information, including how to pre-order your tree, please go to our Bellringers’ Christmas Tree Sale page.
