Community Events

Our parish is always looking at ways to engage with the larger community and over the course of the year, we lay on events which reach out to the broader community.

 

Christmas Market

St John’s Christmas Market is a staple in the local calendar, centring around St John’s Church and Moordown St John’s school. This family focused Christmas market has stalls, food and traditional market games for those looking to get into the Christmas spirit. This market is open to everyone!

 

Christmas Tree Festival at St Luke’s takes place in the main body of the church each December. Real trees are sponsored and decorated by individuals and local organisations. Wonderful, seasonal lighting and effects are provided by Martin Jennings with a life-size crib scene. An amazing festival open to all, with no entry charge, the Christmas Tree Festival is open until just before Christmas. Visit www.festivalofchristmas.org for more details nearer the time.
