Friday 23^rd St Nicholas Church & Church Hall 7.00 - 9.30

Our Millennium Festival begins within the walls of Marstons oldest building. The Lord Mayor, local councillor Maureen Christian, will light a symbolic candle, as the light is passed around to everyone, we will join in the Millennium Resolution. Our celebrations then begin with a few 'snapshots' using words, music and song describing how the church was used at various times in the last 1,000 years. The festivities then continue into the Church Hall where an exhibition of local art and crafts are on display. Free entry
