All Saints Edmonton - Community Festival

FREE - just drop by! As part of a new community and heritage project, All Saints Church, Edmonton, is delighted to be opening the church building on Saturday 7 September for a day of free music, crafts, food, games and history. Everyone is welcome to come by and explore this inspiring and significant place that has been the heart of Edmonton for 800 years. The Community Festival is one element of the ‘Reviving All Saints, Edmonton’ project which has generously received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and other local funders. The ‘Reviving’ project is about reconnecting with Edmonton’s communities, and ensuring this valuable historic building can sustainably benefit and inspire local people for many generations to come. As well as the Community Festival, we are delivering a programme of other activities and events in the coming months, in addition to undertaking urgent repairs to the building. It is our hope that the ‘Reviving’ project will generate widespread support, ideas and enthusiasm for a much bigger project in the future that would see All Saints become a key community asset once more.
