Angels Festival

The first day of Angels Festival 2023 was busy with many visitors enjoying the angels flying in the nave whilst sipping winter warmer drinks from our pop up bar at the back of church.

We were pleased to have a full church for Music and Readings at the end of the afternoon (the film will follow shortly) and hope you all enjoyed the specially selected programme.

All Saints is open as normal for you to visit and see the installation and there’ll be a team there on Friday and Saturday evening for Angel Lates.  Pop into church during Lates and see the installation fully lit and enjoy a drink from our pop up bar or enjoy it during the peace of the day.

Thank you to everyone who came Angel Stringing on Saturday – we’ve made great strides forward and the end of this phase is in sight!
