Friends of St Bart's – 850th Anniversary Celebrations

St Bartholomew's Church is celebrating its 850th anniversary this year, with a launch weekend of events from 23rd–25th August, as St Bartholomew's Day (24th August)falls on the Sunday.

The Friends of St Bart's, in partnership with the PCC, are planning a series of events running through to August 2026. The launch weekend will feature:

  • Beautiful floral displays

  • An exhibition of wedding photos through the decades

  • Extended opening hours

  • Bell ringing, refreshments, and more

If you or a family member were married at St Bart's, we'd love to include your photo in the exhibition. Please bring a copy to the church office to be scanned and returned.

The celebrations will conclude with a special Choral Evensong at 5pm on Sunday 24th August – all are warmly invited.
