BOOK NOW

JOIN OUR ADVENT WINDOW TRAIL

To get involved all you need to do is to decorate one (or more!) windows in your house, flat or workplace, the bigger and brighter the better so people can see your fantastic displays. All you need to do is choose which part of the Christmas story you would like to do, sign up and get designing your window!

 

Sign up here and access the map that shows where all the windows are so that you can plan your route, maybe even walk around and visit them all. Lets share the hope we have in Jesus and light up Walton with the Christmas story.

CHRISTINGLE

This year Christingle will come to you via YouTube.

We would love for you to join us online at 3.30 pm on Sunday 13th December.

 

We will have Christingle Craft bags which you will be able to come and collect on Saturday 12th December from St Mary’s.

Book a pick up time here!

 

Whilst there you will have the opportunity to check out the Encouner Christmas experience. Although not specifically for children the displays will be up and you’ll be able to walk through the church.
