The church has wonderful acoustics and we are pleased to offer the building on favourable terms to those wanting to use it for concerts, exhibitions and recitals.

The parishioners of the Parish Church are actively involved in the various village organisations and events. We are pleased that the church is available to be used for Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals and Memorials. We make a special effort to decorate the church for the major Christian Festivals and welcome everyone to all services and events. We occasionally host events such as a concert or Flower Festival. At the last Flower Festival visitors could inspect the ancient parish registers to research their family history and there was a sponsored abseil from the top of the Church Tower.
