  It's Celebration Time. The team have been working very hard to put together a fantastic programme for the St. Peter's Summer Festival: our first opportunity to run events for the last 2 years (thank you Covid 19)! So here goes! On Saturday 2nd July we have a table top sale in the Church Hall with all sorts of goodies for sale: plants, cakes, bric-a-brac and the opportunity to come and have a cup of tea and, perhaps, a bacon sandwich with friends.

This is a free concert so just come along!   Ever since Hilary Robinson, Producer of ‘Go
