The church holds an annual Arts
and Flowers Exhibition this year in September. The object is not only to raise
funds for the church, but to encourage non-church members to participate in a
community effort and to encourage visitors from far and wide into our church.
It also provides an opportunity for local artists to display and sell their
work. For more details and entry forms contact Mrs Ann Biggs +44 (0) 1353

A number of musical concerts are
held throughout the year given by local choirs and visiting choirs and
musicians. Again the purpose is twofold, firstly to raise funds and secondly to
make people aware of the church and its ambience and to encourage their visits
on a more regular basis.
There are a number of set events
which now form a regular feature of the village calendar. The Church Fete, the
Harvest Supper, the Lent Lunches ( to raise funds for Christian Aid) and the
Trinity Sunday Patronal Feast celebrations are all supported by parishioners
from other churches and by some who admit to having no faith.
In addition to church events with
the objectives listed above, additional events are organised by the “Haddenham
Churches Link” committee. The Haddenham
Churches Link committee has the objective of getting “The Church” working
together for events in the village, (without the individual labels of Anglican
– Baptist – Methodist) and attracting new worshipers and members to our
Christian faith.
