The Church is opening as part of the Heritage Open Days on the above dates. “Creativity Unwrapped” is the national theme for this year’s HODs, and we are delighted that so many local community groups are coming to either set up a stall to display who they are and what they do; run craft sessions for people to do or do a performance. There is also a Tower Tour on all 3 days.
The following groups will have a stall set up around the church:
- St. John’s Guides & Brownies – Stained Glass patterns on glass jars
- Caterham Trefoil Guild – Pyrographyon wood
- The Green Club – photos of local flora and fauna
- C.O.A.T.
- CHECKKimilili
- Age UK
- The Westway
- Caterham Rotary
- Caterham & District Horticultural Society
- East Surrey Museum –artworks – paintings, drawings, embroideries etc of local scenes or people, that we rarely get the opportunity to display
- The Bourne Society – hopefully with archive photos & history of St. John’s
The Mothers’ Union will be running refreshments throughout the weekend.
