We have a dedicated team of staff who organise our hugely popular annual summer fete. It is a wonderful event that brings the whole village together.

A new programme started this year, we will be having workshops, talks and concerts throughout the year. Please look out for posters.

St Peter and St Paul has a ring of eight bells. Come along to the church tower on a Thursday evening and see what is involved. (Please do not open the tower door while the bells are actually ringing). There is a knack in ringing bells which takes a little time to master, but once learnt, your ability opens up endless possibilities to develop a great tradition. We have enough volunteers most Sundays to ring at least six of the bells. We would love to be able to ring all the bells and so are always keen to teach others to join our band.

The Choir leads the congregation in main Sunday services, special services, and evensongs. We meet on Friday evenings to prepare for services and expand the repertoire. Anyone who loves singing is welcome to join our friendly team.

The group meets once a month, generally on the first Saturday at 9.30am, with the aim of managing the Lower Churchyard, in particular by cutting the grass and trimming the hedges but undertaking other tasks as necessary. We are always in need of more volunteers so please do come along, no gardening experience necessary.

A dedicated team of volunteer florists help keep the church looking welcoming on a weekly basis. The whole team contribute to special displays during the Christmas and Easter festivals. If you are planning to hold a wedding in church is it worth getting in touch with the team for help and advice (although at present we cannot offer to arrange flowers for weddings).

At Easter & Christmas you can make a monetary donation, with a loved one’s name, to go towards the flowers. The loved one’s name will be put up and read out.

The Friends of St. Peter and St. Paul was founded in 1997 with the aim of encouraging an interest in and support for the enhancement and development of the church, its monuments and its churchyards by raising funds through subscriptions and a variety of social events. The Friends achieve this by applying for grants and funding projects approved by the Parochial Church Council. There are 130 members and more are always welcome. Become a member and attend entertainment organised throughout the year, raising funds towards the upkeep of the church.

You do not have to be a mother to be a member and men are also welcome. Our group usually meet on the third Tuesday of the month either in the evening or daytime. We have a variety of activities from speakers, church visits and lunches out. We sometimes join with our Tandridge Deanery members at Burstow, Godstone, Oxted and Caterham.

They regularly come to the church to spend time here with the students and enjoy a snack & drink after. We also hold a Support Group on the Third Wednesday of each month 1-3:30pm. Come along and meet other parents/carers who support someone with epilepsy and/or learning difficulties. These sessions will be supported by Lisa O’Brien Epilepsy Nurse Consultant and Ian Whitley. This will be a supportive group to help you navigate this complex road and meet other people in similar situations. The programme will be led by you to meet your needs. Free tea and coffee, a smile and someone to talk to. They are the only UK charity dedicated to creating better lives for children and young people with epilepsy and related conditions.
