Pictures from our previous events.
2024 was such a busy and entertaining year and have used our West End Community Space for many of our activities.
The PCC have recently organised the following events: Lent Lunch, Easter Morning 6 am Service followed by Breakfast, Treasure Hunt, a Bingo Night with Mezze refreshments, Barbecues, Quiz Night, a Curry Evening,
Summer Lunches, a Barn Dance, Harvest Festival Celebration and more. We also held monthly board games
nights during the summer as well as regular Craft Evenings. The Parish Council now holds all its meetings at St. Matthew's.
We enjoyed all our activities and attracted many new people to come to the church. Whitchurch Memorial Hall
was the venue for our successful Bingo and Quiz and Supper Nights, with Llancraugh Farm providing the ideal
venue for the Curry Evening and the Harvest Supper held again at Fivefold.
Many thanks to everyone who supported us by coming and sharing in these events. We look forward to seeing
you in 2025.
