There is something for everyone… rich architecture and heritage, beautiful tranquillity, vibrant exhibitions and music… as well as a welcoming oasis of peace. 

Numerous exciting activities are being staged to whet your appetites, from flower and art displays to exhibitions and guided tours.

Alternatively, if all you want is a bit of time to yourself, to relax in the quiet of a beautiful spiritual building, then make sure you choose one of the self-nominated ‘quiet’ churches.

Once again, we thank you for your support of our church heritage, ensuring the success of what we believe is perhaps the biggest Churches Festival in the UK. And this support will help ensure that the lovely community support that binds these rural Lincolnshire villages together
stays forever.
