Music in St James’ Church

A full programme of music will be performed in St James’s Church throughout the afternoon. It will feature both choral work and an organ recital.

Punch and Judy Show

Our wonderful Punch and Judy shows have been performed for us by Jonathan McCann for many years. These shows are very well attended and much enjoyed by both children and adults. Jonathan will put on 2 shows in the afternoon, see programme for timings. The shows will be followed by a display of balloon modelling.

Meet Mr Punch, Judy, the policeman and the sausages at the Punch and Judy shows.
