The parish diary
Six gatherings between now and Christmas.
Events at St Margaret's are quiet, well-attended, and almost always free. Where there is a charge, it is set very low — and the trust covers anyone for whom it is awkward, no questions asked. To reserve a place, use the form on the event page.
