We are hosting simple, welcoming, outdoor gatherings that follow the rhythm of the Celtic year.

As each season turns, we meet in St Oswald's Churchyard to pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature. All are welcome. Bring your curiosity and a love of being outdoors. We will gather around a fire pit, share gentle reflections, and seek the peace and connection of the Creator whilst enjoying the calm of the evening as the year unfolds.

We will meet in all weathers, unless dangerous to do so. Please come dressed for the outdoors and bring something to sit on if you are able.

Welcome!

We’re glad you’ve found us. St Oswald's is part of the Ashbourne Group of Churches which includes St Mary's, Mappleton; St John's, Ashbourne; St Peter's, Snelston; St Mary and St Barlock, Norbury; and Holy Trinity, Clifton. Whether you live locally, are visiting the area, or are simply exploring, you are very welcome at any of our churches.

We are a friendly church community, and we’d love to see you at any of our services or events. Some of our churches hold services once a month, while others meet more often, but whenever we meet, everyone is invited - whether you’ve been to church many times before, haven’t been for a while, or are coming for the very first time.

Please feel free to come along just as you are. We look forward to welcoming you.

Safeguarding

Our parish of Ashbourne: St Oswald is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Derby’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
