The events organised by The Friends continue to evolve in quality and are very popular in the village and surrounding community. In many ways, they are an advertisement for thechurch as we generate community-based activities which project St John’s as an active part of Old Sodbury village.

Events centre around a themed topic, usually involving a delicious meal  and drinks with supporting entertainment. Funds are raised through ticket sales for the events which are usually held in the Old Sodbury Village Hall.

These very well-attended and much-appreciated events are planned and organised by the Friends committee which is currently made up of Tracy Shipp, Lynne and Alan Watts, Linda and Richard Hore.

Some of the previous events organised by The Friends:

June 2019  – “All You Need is Love” Flower Festival

September 2019  – ‘Bon appétit’ (a French-themed autumn celebration)

The total amount raised in 2019 by The Friends towards the Fabric fund, was in excess of £11,000 – a record for the group.

August 2021 – ‘Back in the Swing Again’ featuring the Thornbury Swing Band and our first post-pandemic event.

August ‘22 – ABBA’s Angels at Camers                                                                  “It was a brilliant evening. The band was so good and such a lovely venue.”
