St Peter's church is joining Churchfields, The Village School to run a scarecrow trail in Monkton Farleigh. The theme for the trail is Children's Films.The trail will be open from 3 - 5 May 2025.
Everyone, especially children, are invited to St Peter’s for a special weekend of activities and displays explaining the church which has served the Monkton Farleigh community for over 900 years. Items on display will include vestments, archive photographs and information about the history of the church building. Explore the church with the background of music from our organists. There will be plenty for children to enjoy with quizzes inside and outside the church and a dressing up area. They can also learn about St Peter and see his fishing boat. Teas and delicious home-made cakes will be available. To conclude this celebration all are welcome to join us for evensong at 5 pm on Sunday, 14 July. Entrance is free but donations are welcomed. Please bring cash as we will not be able to accept card payments.
Once again we are leaving an area in the churchyard through the summer to see what grows naturally. Amazingly, in previous years we have counted over 90 different species of plants. We are asking visitors to the churchyard to help us by letting us know which insects and butterflies and other wildlife they see in this area.
