Ride and Stride at St Peter’s

Posted on by

Saturday 12th September 2026

Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. Taking place on the second Saturday of September the funds raised can be split between the nominated Trust and the participants chosen church or chapel.

As ever Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds to support Grant applications from churches and chapels across the county. 

St Peter’s is delighted to be taking part again this year – so look forward to welcoming you on foot, bike or hoof! If you are a bicycle or horse rider or a walker (Shanks’s pony?!), you would be most welcome to join this lovely event, which benefits so many churches locally and around the country.

Our fellow churches, St Andrew’s at Tur Langton and St Leonard’s at Thorpe Langton are also taking part so you can enjoy all three.

Discover all the churches registered and plan your route for the day. Visit the Leicestershire section of the Churches Trust website here, to download the full list throughout the county.

Langton Community Hall, Tuesday, 16th June, 7:30pm

The story based on the life of John Davidson, who grew up in the 1980s with Tourette’s Syndrome. He faced a society and community that did not understand his condition. His tribulations are told movingly in this film, directed, written and produced by Kirk Jones and released in 2025.

With five BAFTA nominations and Best Actor awarded to Robert Aramayo, the film also features Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullen in supporting roles.

Mark Kermode gave the film a glowing review, calling it a ‘fabulous’, moving and profound film. He described it as a beautiful, three-dimensional look at a disabled individual’s life that will make audiences both laugh and cry.

Cinema in the Langtons presents: The Choral

Langton Community Hall, Tuesday, 21st April, 7:30pm

The Choral is a 2025 British historical drama film co-produced and directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by Alan Bennett. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Mark Addy, Alun Armstrong, Robert Emms, and Simon Russell Beale.

Set in 1916, during World War I, in the fictional town of Ramsden, Yorkshire, the film follows the members of the local choral society which recruits a disparate group of townspeople for a performance of Edward Elgar‘s The Dream of Gerontius.

The group soon discover that making music together is their best response to the chaos and loss of war.

Peter Bradshaw, writing in The Guardian, called it “a quiet and consistent pleasure: an unsentimental but deeply felt drama”.
