EVENTS
Marstow has a lively community spirit and we enjoy getting together for events such as coffee mornings, concerts, harvest suppers, community lunches and suppers, quiz evenings and for many other occasions - to have fun and for fundraising. Watch this space or look out for details in the Border News.

SUNDAY 5th JUNE at 3 p.m. – JUBILEE TEA PARTY - ST MATTHEW’S WEST END
We celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in great style with a delicious tea and cocktails and despite the rather dreary weather everyone was determined to have a good time.
Afterwards we received a super thank you note that read: "We just wanted to thank you and everyone involved for a great afternoon yesterday - we really enjoyed being at the church. The food and drink you all provided was incredible it was like being at The Ritz Marstow. Sitting on a pew in Marstow church with a cocktail, coronation chicken sandwiches and red velvet cake is something I won't forget".
SATURDAY 9th JULY – BBQ – LLANCRAUGH FARM, Marstow, HR9 6EH
In past years people have loved our Hog Roasts and BBQ's held in a marquee in Trevor and Lesley’s beautiful garden and this year was no exception. Good Company, delicious BBQ, desserts, raffle and bar plus a beautiful warm evening made this evening one to be remembered.
HARVEST SUPPER - Saturday 8th October – at FIVEFOLD,
Our full Harvest weekend was welcomed back after 3 years and we had a good crowd who enjoyed cottage pies and crumbles cooked by the PCC members.
Our well attended HARVEST CELEBRATION SERVICE in church was conducted by Ben and we enjoyed a convivial time with refreshments afterwards. The fruit and vegetables decorating the church were donated to the Zero Waste Stall in Ross and non-perishables to the Food Larder.
FRIDAY 21st OCTOBER - QUIZ NIGHT - Another memorable evening at The Royal Hotel, Symond's Yat. Nicki set us some challenging but fun questions and the hotel provided a delicious meal. Well done to Wendy for winning the hamper and to Jackie and family plus Ester and Jim for being the winners of the quiz. Thanks also to Chris Rollinson for organising this event for us.
