Entry: AGM free, AGM with Tea £10

Members and their guests* are welcome to our annual AGM, church service and tea. This year's service of evening prayer will include music organist Ben Maton, and a sermon from Rev. Canon Andrew Rowland, Rector of Wimborne Minster.

St Mary’s, Long Crichel is set in the picturesque chalkland of Cranborne Chase and combines a late medieval tower with a nave, transept and apse built between 1852 and 1875. Between 2020 and 2022, funding from the Culture Recovery Fund enabled us to reroof the church, overhaul the rainwater goods, repoint the masonry, and repair and restore the interior, including re-introducing the original late-Georgian colour scheme.

All of the afternoon's events will take place at St Mary's. We look forward to seeing you there.

*In the event that numbers exceed capacity, priority must go to members. We apologise for any disappointment caused.
