A decision has been made to go ahead with Lammas Day at the Rectory.
The team have been watching three different weather web sites and we have all shared our comments.
Yes, it is very likely that a) the ground will be wet. b) we may see some rain BUT – we have a large double Gazebo and three standard Gazebo’s.
And it wouldn’t be the first time we celebrated in the rain….
… anyone remember 2017?!
The BBQ, The Curries, The Lammas Day Loaf, of course those puddings and special *Raffle* with some excellent Prizes will be there.
Come and celebrate Lammas Day.
All tickets have been sold – see you there at 12.30pm if you have one!
New times for church services from 1st July 2025.

A probably unique opportunity to acquire drawings made by the late professor Hugh Brogan offers itself on 7th June 2025.
Catherine Crawford, a one-time colleague and dear friend of Hugh, will be at the Shed behind Wivenhoe Bookshop between 2.00 and 6.00 pm, hoping for plenty interest in the sale which contains not only drawings and paintings but various other items including poetry but all connected with Hugh Brogan.
The sale coincides with St Mary’s June Market.
The video below was recorded on Wednesday 4 June to give a flavour of the occasion.
Proceeds of the sale will be shared by Wivenhoe’s 2 youth clubs, chosen for a reason revealed in the video.
Apologies for the wind noise on the audio.
