Living Brook Benefice (Piddington, Hardingstone and Quinton)

 This year Christmas Tree Festival is on December 13th and 14th. Father Christmas will be there between 12-2pm to accept your children’s or grandchildren’s letters so he can get on and make whatever they have asked for!  Our Wassail will be on the 14th at 6pm but come a bit earlier to enjoy Jo’s festive fizz. Word is getting out at how good it is. Our Wassail includes our Nine Lessons and Carols - it is a lovely end to the festival and as it is quite late in December this year it will definitely put you in the Christmas mood! 

 Our annual Christmas Tree Festival this year is on the 7th and 8th December from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. Father Christmas will be there on the 7th between 11am and 1 pm for you to give you a chance to give him your Christmas present letters in person. Entry by donation.  On Sunday we have our Wassail with Nine Lessons and Carols. This service starts at 6 pm with mince pies and Jo’s fabulous punch. Please come along to support us - all money raised will go towards the repair of our beautiful church.
