Christmas Tree Festival 2025

​​

​​A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the Festival another resounding success.

The church welcomed over 1,000 visitors overthe two days and we raised in excess of £6,000.

The Friends' Refreshments Stall raised just over £1,700, which saw £900 donated to the church for its ongoing programme of restoration and upkeep, and the balance going to the Friends Reserve Fund.

We would like to thank all those who baked cakes, cookies, scones and sausage rolls

and everyone who helped on the stall.

 QUIZ NIGHT 22nd February 2025

This was a very successful event with over £750.00 raised. Eighty two tickets were sold

and after a tightly fought contest, “The Acers” won by just the one point; it was a very entertaining evening and the Committee thanks everyone who took part. Special mentions must go to all involved, including Steve Sharp for a clever and interesting set of questions and picture rounds

and to Julie and Ralph Yates for ensuring piping hot fish and chip suppers; they were delicious.

Our very own Treasurer, Ian Hollyholmes, acted as MC and Quizmaster, supported by Caroline Hill, Helena Buqué and Nikky Cusson, who provided outstanding service in the bar; to Tessa McCormick

and her team our thanks for an excellent raffle, and to the many others who helped, 

please accept our grateful thanks. ​
