What to expect - Click Here for List

Food and local produce to contribute, buy and enjoy. The first part of the evening will offer an opportunity to buy locally made goods and fresh, wholesome food which you can enjoy while troubadours set the mood for an evening of relaxed entertainment.

Later, browse the stalls before wandering off to listen to a highly original presentation of music, poetry and drama in the church. Children will be entertained by an optional suitably themed movie upstairs in the Annex.

All in all, a time to relax and share the gifts and fruits of our church community.

How can you participate?

Help us make the evening a success! You could:

• Sell your locally made products, such as olives, breads, cheeses, honey, oils, juices etc.
• Bring and sell food for supper – all natural and local of course!
• Participate as a troubadour, playing a musical instrument
• Take part in the indoor entertainment by reading a poem, staging some drama or making music
• Offer to assist in other ways.

• 15h00 : The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (re-run) What it's about: When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. Oil imports were halved; food was reduced by 80%. The people were desperate. ….
