Thank you to everyone supporting the Christmas Day service, the Carol Service and the Walking Nativity. And congratulations to the ponkey, the candle lighters, the decorators, and the choir singing John's outstanding new carol!

Walking Nativity - Saturday 20 December 2025

Thank YOU to everyone who came! It's so great to have such wonderful support. 

Special thanks to all who helped organise and do stuff and to our star turn, Basil Bagel Burger the ponkey (sic), our hilarious thespian innkeeper at the pub and of course Kirsty and Michael for the wonderful costumes and activity👏🌲🫏

Berrick & Roke Christmas Fair 2025

The Christmas Fair raised a magnificent £2765.60 towards maintaining and running our beautiful historic village church.

A massive 'Thank You' to everybody who came, and to those who cooked, served, poured, decorated, set trails, sold, operated competitions and so generously allocated an enormous amount of energy and expertise.

And a particular thanks to the terrific village children who got stuck in with running events, Christingles, and competitions.

What a wonderful village we live in – such bonhomie…

No wonder Santa and his Elf were delighted to fit Berrick into their very busy schedule!
