Sunday 11th July, 11.30 to 5.30pm

A reminder that this Sunday, a special and unique event at St Peter’s takes place, following a wedding the previous day.
St Peter’s is undergoing an amazing transformation today, with flowers arranged by a London florist, that will remain in the church for the community and wider audience to enjoy on Sunday.
The family have generously offered this in the hope that much need funds will be raised for the upkeep of the church building.
