To mark our patronal festival, we will be holding our church service outside in the churchyard (weather permitting). After this service, we will be spending time together as a community – music will be provided by Victory Brass from 12:30pm, the Tower will be open to climb, and the St Mary’s Derby will be taking place (place minor bets on our giant wooden horses). Bring a picnic lunch and join us for a relaxing afternoon!
