We are having a bit of a social from 5.30pm 'til dusk.

Bring your children and your friends. Dogs very welcome too. 

Come and enjoy a glass of something, a few nibbles and a walk through the churchyard to consider what's working well and what could do with a bit more love. Perhaps whilst you are there, enjoying this surprisingly sociable space, you'd like to share your thoughts or be inspired over something you could take on.

Come anyway, and enjoy this beautiful space. All replies and queries to Alexandra Ruffer: [email protected]
