The Annual Grand Auction takes place on Wednesday (29 September) - viewing from 7pm, auction commences at 7.30pm. First held in 1975, this is always an enjoyable "fun" evening. Sale items, donated by members and friends of the Church, include a variety of new and second-hand goods – all in good condition.

Everything is sold at bargain prices; occasionally an item of real value is “discovered”! Proceeds are used to assist in the running of the Church and help finance many of its charitable activities. Viewing from 7 pm, auction starts promptly at 7.30pm. Admission just 50 pence. Refreshments are available during the evening.
