Rockland Church and The Barn will be open from 10.30am-4pm for this year’s Christmas Tree Festival, with refreshments and stalls in The Barn. Every year brings something new, and all proceeds go to St. Mary’s Church and Star Throwers charity.

On Wednesday (10th) Art Cafe in The Barn is open from 10.30am-12.30pm mainly for pre-Christmas fun! There’s plenty of art and craft materials available, or bring something of your own.

At Rockland Come and See will be launched – an almost life-size nativity scene that you can feel part of, open daily from 9am-7pm. More details to follow.

Christmas Warm Welcome on the 15th marks the coming of Christmas with a festive feel, special food and afterward the opportunity to stay on for Peaceful Christmas – a quiet time with carols and readings. The Barn will be open until 3pm.
