Come together visitors and community alike, to share in a beautiful candelit carol service at Littlebredy this Christmas.

Meet outside St Mary’s church for a walk lasting between an hour and an hour and a half, followed by tea/coffee.
This walk is suitable for all ages and dogs on leads are welcome. This is a chance to reflect on the year past and share hope together for 2026. Slings or backpacks for babies and toddlers would work better than buggies.
Whatever 2025 has been for you, this pilgrimage provides an opportunity to reset in nature with prayers and reflections to help set you up for the New Year.
Everyone is welcome.

Join regular visitor, the Reverend Philip Ringer, to celebrate Holy Communion after Christmas.

On the first Wednesday of each month, there is Holy Communion followed by a soup lunch. All welcome.

Everyone is invited along to a special Plough Sunday service. This event is being held at Puncknowle Manor Farm Grain Store, by kind permission of Sarah Wild. As well as thanking those who work on the land and thinking about all growers, wit some singing, prayers and reflection, there will be chance for everyone to enjoy time together afterwards with refreshments!

This small and friendly group meets regularly to practise Christian contemplative prayer and meditation together.
Come as a visitor or a regular attendee.
Coffee will be served at the end, around 11am.

Join the congregation to celebrate the Eucharist.

These are more informal services. There will be mix of singing (using the Songs of Fellowship books) readings, prayer and reflections and maybe some discussion. Activities for children will be set up and the afternoon ends with Community Cake! Everyone is welcome - come along and try it out.

We are planning a pilgrimage to celebrate light and life, and new beginnings, on Sunday 1st February which is St Bride's Day and also 'Imbolc'. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, signaling the first signs of spring like lengthening days, new growth, and lambing season, honoring the goddess Brigid with fire, purification, and themes of rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings. The pilgrimage will go from the Hardy Monument, through the 'Valley of Stones' to the source of the River Bride at Littlebredy, and then through the Bride Valley to Freshwater, where the river enters the sea. We are planning to hire a minibus to take pilgrims to the start and facilitate transportation as required along the route. Timings likely 12.00pm - 5.00pm. Full details will be confirmed and published through 'From 'Source 2 Sea' and Facebook and updated on ACNY. From 5.00pm there will be a welcoming ‘Winter Warmer’ event for pilgrims at Othona, followed by a candlelit evening of friendship to lead us into the light and love of ‘Candlemas’. If you would like to register an interest in the pilgrimage walk please email [email protected], with subject 'St Bride's Pilgrimage 2026'.
