Friday 26th June to Monday 29th June - Flower festival at Aysgarth Church
This year Penhill Benefice is celebrating two important local anniversaries: it’s twenty years since the four parishes of Aysgarth, Bolton cum Redmire, Preston with Wensley and West Witton came together to form the Benefice and thirty-five years since the foundation of the Wensleydale Flower Club.
To celebrate these two milestones we are jointly holding a Flower Festival at St Andrew’s Church, Aysgarth, on the theme of ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’. The four-day long festival will be open to the public 10am - 5pm from Friday 26th till Monday 29th June inclusive. Entrance is free so please do join us and encourage your family, friends and visitors to come along too
