Services at St Margaret's on June 28 will begin with holy communion at 8am. Sung eucharist will take place at 10am and at 6.30pm there will be a service of eucharist and confirmation. Bishop David, the Bishop of Thetford, will be presiding, as he makes his last visit to St Margaret's before his retirement.

It is now less than a month to go before St Margaret's celebrates the patronal festival weekend, from Saturday, July 18 to Monday, July 20. For the weekend, there will be a flower and costume display to mark 700 years of service since the first recorded incumbent, and a mediaeval style fair, complete with hog roast, will be held in the church grounds on Saturday, July 18. On the evening of Saturday, July 18, there will be a concert of Tudor and Renaissance music, which will be given by The Minstrels. All proceeds from the entire weekend will go to the church lighting project. St Margaret's Church extends a warm welcome to everyone to attend these events.
