ST Peter’s Church in Fugglestone will come alive with live folk music, spoken word poetry and a talk by a best-selling author as part of a festival next month.

The festival is one of a series of ongoing events to raise money for the restoration of St. Peter’s Church.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Fugglestone St Peter Trust, raising money to restore and redevelop the church for broader use by the community.

It is taking place on November 22, with the hugely popular author Mark Dawson revealing more about his journey from self-publishing to multi-million copy best selling author from 2pm to 4pm.

He will include his inspiration for the protagonist, Atticus Priest, in four locally-set books and some anecdotes about writing crime novels and thrillers. This part of the day will conclude with a Q&A session and book signings.

The candlelit evening session from 6pm to 8pm features Jigfoot, a folk-music quintet that plays music that will set toes tapping and hands clapping. Their tunes will be interspersed with spoken word poetry.

Organisers said: “The small church of St. Peter has no heating or electric lighting, hence the evening will be candlelit. We recommend you dress appropriately.

“Tickets for each session will be £10 or a combined ticket is £18. A beverage is included with the ticket of wine, beer, tea, coffee or soft drink. Additional drinks can be purchased as desired.”

The Fugglestone St Peter Trust is a registered charity: No. 1213873. The small church of St Peter is located at the South East corner of the Wilton Roundabout on the A36.
