NATIVITY CRIB FESTIVAL
30 NOVEMBER & 1 DECEMBER 11AM-5PM
St Ippolyts Church
Once again, we kick the festive season off to a start with our truly amazing Nativity Crib Festival. We will be filling the church with as many cribs as we can persuade people to lend us (last year we had almost 200) They come from all around the world, are every shape and size and are made from everything you could imagine (including citrus peel and banana leaves!) Best of all each has its own "story" saying why it is important to its owner. We will also have a "living Crib" - use our dressing up clothes to create your own nativity scene (if you take a photo it will make a beautiful, personal Christmas Card.) Naturally we will be serving delicious cakes and you have the chance to win a crib of your own. Entry is £3, children are free and there is parking on the school playground.

On Saturday morning 10.30-11.30, we offer a “quiet hour” for disabled visitors and their carers, who may prefer to enjoy the display when the church is not crowded or noisy
