Get into the Christmas Spirit at our annual Christmas Tree Festival and Fair.
We are holding a Christmas Tree Festival on 5th and 6th December and are inviting local businesses, organisations and individuals or families to join us to celebrate Christmas by putting up a tree in the church and entering our Christmas Tree Competition!
This community event will give people the opportunity to vote for the best decorated trees. There will be lots of other activities too including children’s craft activities, a Christmas Fair in the Church Hall on the Saturday, Carol singing on the Sunday, a large raffle and lots of mince pies!

St Margaret of Antioch

We are a friendly Church with a traditional approach to worship.  St Margaret's is very popular for weddings and baptisms.  Everyone is made welcome, especially children.

We have close links with our local primary school and the children hold two services a year in our church.  They also participate in our children orientated events.
