Christmas events in the Romney Marsh churches

Christmas makes for a particularly atmospheric time to visit the medieval churches on Romney Marsh, and we warmly encourage you to join us at any of the services and events taking place across the Marsh this year. Church events and services are coordinated by the volunteers and clergy who oversee each individual church (the PCCs), whose dedication helps make this season so special. We will endeavour to add Christmas events and services to this page as we receive details, but you are advised to check with the church before travelling - especially in poor weather - to ensure events are going ahead as planned; the Romney Marsh Benefice website can be found here and East Guldeford here.
