Festival weekend at Sloley Methodist Church

Sloley Summer Festival returns over the bank holiday weekend, with fun for all the family, and concert tickets are now available.

The weekend starts with a barbecue at 5.30pm and concert at 6.30pm on Saturday 24 August, a Festival Service at 2.30pm on the Sunday, with worship singing from 2.15pm, and concludes with a Summer Fayre from 11am to 2pm on Bank Holiday Monday.
 
The live music throughout the weekend will be provided by the worship band from Third Avenue Church & Community in Gillingham, Kent. Mark Frost, the worship group leader at Third Avenue, grew up in Norfolk, with Sloley his home chapel, before moving to London then Gillingham over 30 years ago. Since 2013 he has brought the Third Avenue Worship Group to Sloley each year, staging a concert on the Saturday evening, and leading worship on the Sunday afternoon.
 
Mark said, “The concert is a lazy summer’s evening of live music and entertainment - an eclectic mix of music genres, with the odd humorous sketch or two - including the return of our unlikely superhero ‘Frogman’ - and with a BBQ before all the entertainment begins.”
 
On the Sunday the band will lead worship for the Festival Service, with a mix of modern and traditional worship songs, and the Summer Fayre on the Monday with various stalls, refreshments and community singing! All monies raised go to support Sloley Methodist Church.
 
Mark concluded, “Ultimately, it’s about having a time of fun and laughter together. There is something for everyone and you are all most welcome.”

Tickets for the concert are £6 each, or £10 to include the barbecue.
