We are celebrating our patronal festival on St Oswald's Day, Saturday 5th August, with a short service at 4.30pm. There will also be a Benefice Eucharist at 10am on Sunday 6th August.

In addition to the services there will an exhibition in church which we are calling 'Farming Life in Lythe & District'. We have collected pictures, artefacts, tools and memories thanks to the generosity and interest of many local people and these will be displayed in the church from 10am until 4pm on Saturday 5th, Sunday 6th (open after the service) and Monday 7th August. Teas will be available to buy on all three days. There is no charge to look around but any and all donations will be gratefully received and will go towards the Restoration Appeal.

Another highlight of the weekend will the a concert by the Moorland Ensemble at 7pm on Saturday 5th August with a very attractive programme of music by Mozart, Puccini, Albeniz, Elgar and more. Tickets cost £7 on the door and this includes a complimentary glass of wine or fruit juice.
