BRANCH OUT - A Community Celebration
Saturday 6 June - Sunday 14 June, 2 - 4 pm daily
BRANCH OUT has been conceived as a festival both to celebrate and give thanks for our retiring Rector, Rev Philip’s joyful time in the Benefice. It's also designed as a shout out for our fabulous Church community and neighbourhood groups, clubs and activities which make our Benefice so special.
Featuring decorative community group displays, a programme of daily drop in craft workshops, a pop up cafe for home-baked cakes, tea and coffee and a farewell book to sign for Rev Hawthorn.
A free event with donations invited for crafts and refreshments.

OUR FIRST FANTASTIC EVENT WAS SOLD OUT!
