First Church

Following our very successful Book sale in June ( we hope that all avid readers picked up plenty of great reading then especially since the library is currently running a reduced service ), First Church is hosting  two further special events this year as we celebrate our freshly painted building. 

Saturday 4th August at 4pm in the church. Billed as “Music to his ears” this will be a programme of classical and popular music by the favourite composers of Charles Dickens, to be performed by distinguished musicians, Cherry van Kranen, Victoria Jones, Elizabeth Patchett and Rebecca Steel, with a linking narrative devised by Graeme Burnard. There are no ticket sales, a note koha will be appreciated, and proceeds are going to First Church. We suggest coming in good time for a seat to what will be a remarkably fine and entertaining concert. 

Sunday September 9th  “Cant ate” the ladies choir from Wellington are coming to Martinborough to perform at 2pm in First Church.

As the year goes on we will be holding the traditional Kirk Fair in October and  the Flower Show in November.  On the first Sunday in December, the closest to St Andrews Day, we are planning to hold a service of  ” Kirking the tartan”.
