Christmas in Bransgore, Thorney Hill and Hinton

At the time of writing, we’re planning for the possibility that we’ll be able to have a number of small, socially-distant Christmas services. These services will all take place following the government regulations current at the time they are due to take place. We imagine that this will involve the use of face coverings, test and trace, social distancing and musical performance, rather than congregational singing. Because of social distancing and the limited size of our Church buildings, some of our events are ticketed. Tickets are available via the eventbrite links below.

Crib Dressing Service at St Michael’s Hinton: Sunday the 13th December at 11.30am. A tradition service for all ages.

Lessons and Carols at St Michael’s Hinton: Sunday 20th December at 5pm. A shorter version of the usual Nine Lessons, but just as much Christmas joy! Tickets available below:
