Ride and Stride this weekend

Churches across the Diocese are opening their doors for the annual Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust (GHCT) Ride and Stride event this Saturday 14 September.

You can be sponsored to take part in visiting as many churches as possible over the weekend or just pop in and see one or two.

St Mary’s Church in Lydney is holding a Try Your Hand at Bellringing event and Dumbleton St Peter is having a Gift Day from 3pm – 5pm when there will be stalls, activities, pop-up choir and afternoon teas plus glasses of bubbly on the green.

Here is a full list of churches that are opening their doors.

GHCT provides £150,000 in grants every year to help repair, maintain and improve the churches in our region, but can only do that with your continued support. Please help them continue this vital work.
