Our annual Harvest Hog Roast follows the 4pm service at 5pm in the churchyard.

Join us for an evening of music and celebration as The Central Band of the Royal British Legion presents a programme of popular and uplifting music, including popular classics and familiar pieces from stage and screen. The band is 82 years old this year ( hoorah!) and its founding purpose is to support the fund-raising work of the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal, to which all proceeds from the concert will go. The Central Band is conducted by 3 times BAFTA winner Captain David Cole, OBE, RVO. He was Director of Music of the Royal Marines and personal conductor to her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia. He is the musical director of the RBL’s annual Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

A special service of remembrance for those who have been bereaved. It will include hymns led by the choir, readings and prayers. There will be an opportunity to light a candle in memory of loved ones and refreshments will follow.
After over five years of fundraising, we are delighted to be undertaking our bell restoration project. All eight bells have been taken away from the church for tuning and will be returned with new fittings for re-installation mid-October. During this period, there will be no bell present for the hourly clock chime. In addition, it has been necessary to remove the mechanism that drives the four clock faces on the tower as it blocks the access to the bells. Everything will be returned to normal after the bells have been replaced in the tower. For further details about this project and for information on how you can make a donation, please visit hampton-church.org.uk/bells
