After the success for last year’s first ever festival the One Tree Hill Festival returns to St Augustine’s church this spring. This year the festival is based over 4 weekends and brings together a varied collection of music and creativity. As ever events will be of a very high standard and will gather together local musicians and performers. There will also be our annual spring fair and also a crafts activity morning (at Holy Trinity Centre) for the young and young at heart. Our Sunday morning services also have a theatrical flavour as we will be looking at the music and lyrics of the well loved musical Les Miserables. Joined by West end performers we will be exploring three of the characters different responses.
We look forward to seeing you!
