The annual Friends’ Festival is just one week away – Sunday 8th July. Join us for the 9.15am Parish Eucharist or the 11.00am Sung Eucharist when the Young Friends Banner will be dedicated and paraded, stay on to the Bring and Share lunch in the parish hall (no booking required), followed by the Annual General Meeting and talk. Afternoon tea will be served before Choral Evensong at 5.00pm. To finish the day take a picnic to Abbey House garden for ‘Brass on the Grass’ (tickets £10, from the Abbey shop or on the gate) or stroll round Tewkesbury, now looking resplendent with the medieval banners and beautiful floral displays. It promises to be a splendid occasion.
