Dear Blogger
Message from Whittington Music Festival
Bells to ring out for the Festival!
Bellringers from St Oswald's church Oswestry will be at St John the Baptist Whittington to usher in the start of the festival from 6.15 - 7pm on Thursday 14 May.
What better way to celebrate than with the joyous sound of church bells!
Saturday 16th May, 4.00 – 4.30pm: Book Signing with Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason

| Three good reasons for booking now
Why not encourage neighbours, friends and family to give us a try too, and make life easier for them by offering a lift to Whittington. This would be an especially kind gesture for someone near you who has mobility problems. Easter is also the perfect time to buy tickets as gifts. After all, we know that the proven health benefits of listening to live music are many, and certainly greater and longer-lasting than a surfeit of chocolate! | | |
