Starting at the church at 11:15am, there will be a community walk around the village, stopping at a number of places for prayers of thanksgiving. Back at the church, there will be coffee and cake offered. All welcome.

This is the Sunday nearest to the feast of St Peter when Swettenham Church will celebrate its foundation and dedication to St Peter.
We hope that as many friends of St Peter's, old and new, along with members of the other Rural Daneside Churches and the wider community will join us for this friendly service - a real celebration of village, church and community.
Light refreshments will be served following the service.

Today we celebrate the first fruits of the harvest. Communion will be taken with a freshly-baked loaf of bread which represents the first of the gathered-in grains. It is combined with the Rose Queen and Oak King ceremonially returning the Oak Sword and Oak Sceptre to church as their final official act, although they will visit a few other fetes before the Marton Wakes.
After the service, we will serve a soup and sandwich lunch.
We look forward to welcoming you there.

Our annual village fete will take place on the school field at Marton. Here’s hoping for a dry one!

The service where we will give thanks for the Marton Wakes Fete, a traditional fete held on the penultimate Saturday in July every year, and which has been running for at least 125 years.

A major part of life at All Saints is Redesmere Fete, which attracts hundreds of people.
One of the best known and picturesque village events in the region, the fete features the crowning of the Water Lily Queen, so called because she is rowed across Redesmere Lake which was at one time covered by water lilies.
The Queen is then crowned by the King of Redesmere on the lake shore before the start of a traditional family-oriented fete at the Village Hall with attractions for all the family. The festivities continue into the evening.

The day when we celebrate the harvest for 2025 and give thanks for its bounty. This is a family-friendly service that includes Holy Communion. Everyone is welcome to join us.

All welcome to join us for this beautiful service, particularly children.
