Annual Ride and Stride and Heritage Open Days - Sept 10th & 11th 2022

Posted by R.Broad on July 20, 2022

A big thank you to every who helped with the event and raised money. Please do join the special evensong on Saturday 22nd October at 6:00 with visitors from the Berkshire Historic Churches Trust (BHCT) are joining us at the end of their tour of Churches and also to see the recently restored floor which BHCT made a significant contribution towards the cost of restoration.

 

 

As in previous years the Church will be open to welcome visitors and offer guided tours as part of the national Heritage Weekend. This is a lovely opportunity to share the beauty of our church with the wider community (we have had visitors coming long distances in the past) and, especially this year, to highlight the fantastic work carried out on the church floor.

 

The Berkshire Historic Churches Trust Ride & Stride will take place on the Saturday when we will welcome visitors “riding and striding” to raise money through sponsorship for their own churches. We will be organising a walk for any one from All Saints who would like to take part, and there will be a sponsorship form at the back
of the church in support of the walkers’ efforts. Half of any money raised will come back to All Saints.

 

There will also be a sign up sheet at the back of the church for volunteers to act as Stewards, to help welcome visitors to the church and provide drinks for weary travellers. Please do sign up if you can offer an hour or so on either of these days. We will sponsoring the Stewards for Ride & Stride too.
