Heritae Open Days 2022 – Exhibition

It’s that time of year yet again, and we are again happy to be a part of the Heritage Open Days scheme. This year is focussed on the beautiful embroidered processional banners we have. We will be open on Saturday 10th September from 1.15pm – 3.30pm.

Most of these fascinating banners are on display on the gallery and not accessible up close. Each one has been photographed and studied to produce an informative booklet – available on the day to visitors. Close up photographs and a short description will also be on display.

People are also welcome to just have alook around the Grade II listed church, and refreshments will still be available.

We will also be open in the morning for our monthly free organ concert which you are welcome to come along to as well if you wish. That starts at 10am and you can come and go as you please.

We hope to see you soon!
