Returning by popular demand! After the first successful West End concert at St Peter`s in 2018, we are delighted to bring the West End to Church Langton once again, for a special charity concert.

On Sunday 6th September, four singers from the West End will perform a variety of songs from the shows and other famous hits. This promises to be a sought-after event and early purchase of tickets is highly-recommended.

Doors will open at 4.15pm for a 5pm start.

Canapes, bar and raffle

Canapes will be served during the interval and there will be a bar. There will also be a raffle with more than £500 of prizes!

Free parking will be available at the Hanbury Community Hall, which will be open for toilet facilities.

Supporting Charities

The concert is a charity fundraising event. Funds raised will go towards the work of the Market Harborough Branch of MacMillan Cancer Support and also St Peter`s Church, which is looking to install toilet facilities.

‘Frocks & Flowers’ and Open Gardens: A Wonderful Village Weekend

“Let’s raise some money for some local charities and the church.” Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!

And so, a small group of volunteers, led by the indefatigable Sue Atton, brought the vision of ‘Frocks & Flowers’ and Open Gardens to life.

Four months, 42 mannequins and a lot of hard work

Four months was not long to bring it all together, but with a great deal of effort from a wonderful group of volunteers, it all came together for an amazing weekend, with nearly 200 visitors to the village.

The team included everyone from school children and flower arrangers to stall holders, gardeners, gazebo erectors, car park attendants, church cleaners, model dressers and cream tea ladies. There really was a job for everyone!

Frocks from around the world

The collection of enough mannequins proved to be a task in itself. After appeals in the Kibworth Chronicle, the Harborough Mail and on local HFM radio, we were lucky enough to be lent a total of 42 mannequins, of all shapes and sizes. It did go down to the wire, with the last few only arriving early on Saturday morning!

The dresses came from a wide variety of individuals, with items from as far afield as India, Africa, Indonesia and China.

We were also loaned a number of wedding dresses dating from 1964 to the present day, alongside some wonderful dresses from the eco wardrobe at Welland Park School.

These, together with a tableau of dresses from Ascot and some fascinating historical items, filled the church with life and colour.

A parish comes together

And the result? More than £1,700 was raised throughout Church and East Langton for the church and local charities.

But perhaps the real success of the weekend was the way the whole village came together. From those lending precious dresses and mannequins, to the volunteers creating displays, tending gardens, serving cream teas and welcoming visitors, it was a true village event.

A celebration of individuals coming together to create something memorable — and a wonderful weekend for St Peter’s and the whole community. See the full gallery of photos here; simply click on a photo to enlarge it and see the wonderful details.

Summer Concert August 2026

Posted on by

Sunday 30th August – 2pm – Venue: St Peter’s Church, Church Langton

Organ Recital – CANCELLED

With great regret, we have taken the decision to cancel the next concert in our summer season an organ recital.

Sadly, the extreme heat of five heatwaves over summer, seems to have rendered the church organ unplayable. You can imagine the distress this discovery caused. The organ is a fundamental part of the church building and unique. It is regularly maintained and tuned, but no one could have predicted this heat.

We do not yet know the extent of the damage, but are investigating and will keep you posted. However, this issue demonstrates the urgency of our fundraising and how grateful we are for your continued support. If you are able to make a donation online, there is a secure link to our Give a Little page below.

Meanwhile, apologise once more for any disappointment we’ve caused. We also remind you of the West End Musical event coming to St Peter’s in September. Full details, click here.
