Plants and Pickle Sale, 1 June
This has been rescheduled due to the incredibly hard ground and the difficulties people are experiencing splitting their wonderful contributions. It will now take place on 1st June, 2019, on the village green from 10:30am to midday.
Plants, pickles, preserves and cake donations would be welcomed for the new date! All money raised will go towards Friends of St Botolph. Donations can be brought along in the morning or left at Fox Earth in advance.
Churchyard Tidy up 7 June, from 5pm
Bring along your gardening tools and gloves to help tidy up the outside of the church and churchyard. This is a very popular event where the whole family can join in and get everything looking its best for St Botolph’s Day. Pulled pork rolls and homemade cakes will be provided, together with cold drinks.

New Stow Longa “Messy” Service
Following the recent ‘Springwatch’ evening the PCC have decided to change the schedule of regular services at St. Botolph’s to include a monthly ‘Messy Church’ service on the second Sunday of each month, at 3.30pm in winter and 6.00pm in summer.
On June 9th 2013 at 6.00pm we’ll be celebrating our ‘patronal festival’ (St Botolph’s Day is June 17th) with a lively service and a bring and share tea. All welcome!
