All events Calendar

We celebrate a choral Holy Communion service each Sunday at 09.30am. On the third Sunday this is an all-age service with assistance from the children, and followed by bacon and sausage breakfast rolls! A vibrant children's group 'vestry club' meets during the service most weeks. Evening services tend to be more quiet and contemplative in nature, either in St Laurence's or in our sister church St Mary's Church, Addington. We have a short, midweek communion service including prayers for the community at Midday each Wednesday. This follows our regular coffee morning in the adjacent St Laurence Room situated on the town's main square.

Family craft workshop — Franciscan weekend | St. Laurence

for 4 hours
St Laurence
High Street Winslow BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3AB, United Kingdom

Celebration of the 800th Anniversary of St Francis 9th-13th September 2026

Come and repurpose household waste to make a bug hotel or animal sculpture over burgers and hotdogs and learn all about the Winslow Womblers.

For this event we need empty plastic bottles 500ml or 1 litre, we need any clean waste plastic tubing up to 2cm in diameter, such as old garden hose, hula hoops or straws. Old bamboo canes would also be good if they’re cut down into 15-20cm lengths. We’d also like clean, dry, paper pamphlets/booklets such as the Buckingham ‘Focus’ or the Winslow Parish Magazine or others of a similar size & thickness (A5 or smaller with at least 50 pages).

There will be big collection buckets with full details of the kind of things we need in St. Laurence & St. James churches.

Thanks very much. Any donations would be hugely appreciated.
