The Blues Night is back!

The popular Blues Night returns to the marquee in the walled garden of Manor Farm where the lovely church of St James resides on the farm.

Our headline act, The John Lime Trio, plays all-American blues with a touch of added funk and they are sure to get us all up and dancing. The evening will kick off with a set from the hugely talented Jack Daniels who has played his guitar and performed on every continent!

Doors open at 6pm, music starts at 7pm and there is plenty of space in the garden for your chairs and rugs. Some tables and chairs will be provided in the marquee and the rest of the space will be kept clear for dancing. There will be American street food (with veggie options), cheese and ice cream and a full bar - cash only.

Tickets are £20 each, no children under 16 please, and are available from Westcombe Dairy shop, Premier on Bruton High Street, Heathercreech Bakery in Evercreech, all PCC members and Ticket Source www.ticketsource.co.uk/miltonclevedonevents

Regular giving

We have been able to keep our heads just above water during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the generosity of our regular givers who make a monthly, quarterly or annual donation to St James’ by standing order.

Our need for funds for St James’ future

Our church needs financial support to continue to operate as a traditional parish church, but also as a community hub. Without another communal building in the village, the church building is in need of repair and some updating to enable it to be a functioning physical space as well as a calm space in which to reflect and find peace. We also want to share the heritage of this special ‘church in the farmyard’ with the wider world. We will be launching an appeal to raise funds for these works very soon, but if you are interested in making a donation of any size towards the physical upkeep and improvements, please contact our Church Wardens, Treasurer or Secretary.

Thank you so much.
