The 35th festival will be held at Pitstone Church on:
Saturday 23 May 2-6pm
Sunday 24 May 11am-5pm followed by sung evensong at 6pm
Monday 25 May 11am-6pm
The popular homemade refreshments will be available every day and the event will definitely be one to attend.
If you are new to the area or have not yet discovered the beautiful 13th Century Church, this is a good weekend to visit. You will receive a warm welcome and may be inspired by the beautiful works of art you will find there.
Look out for the signs around the village in May and write the dates in your diary.
St Mary’s Pitstone is still licensed for services which take place two or three times per year and is available for funerals, weddings and baptisms when required.
The Church is in the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust and a small local group of Friends. If you would like to join the Friends or help with the festival or run an event in the Church please contact Gill Arney on 01296 668123.
