Advent and Christmas 2023 in the Wolds Valley Benefice

As we enter this time of mystery, story, miracle, and anticipation the Churches of the Wolds Valley are delighted to be able to offer opportunities to gather, sing our favourite carols, hear the story retold and connect with the traditions (old and new) that we love to be a part of at this time of year. With services and events throughout December there is something for everyone.
