Wensleydale Whey

The Grate Cheese Quest Mikron will transport you to the Yorkshire Dales, in a hilarious quest to revive a lost recipe! The stakes are high: the Monks from the Abbey are desperately seeking a living soul to resurrect their traditional Wensleydale cheese. This charming tale promises a gouda time as it immerses you in a world of ghosts, grievances, and glorious cheese. We’ll delve into the rich history of cheese, from its humble beginnings to its place on the most sophisticated platters, featuring a cast of characters who are whey out there.

St Mark's Communion

Whilst essential maintenance work is undertaken, services are temporarily being held in the nearby Seminar Room 1, also located on the St Mark’s hospital site. Directions to Seminar Room 1 will be on the church door. On the forth Sunday of the month, at 11am we hold a traditional service of Holy Communion, with hymns, prayers, and a short talk, providing a reflective and contemplative space to meet with God, at St Mark’s Church situated within the grounds of the hospital. For more information, please contact the office (details in link below). This event will be Covid-secure with processes in place to look after us all. Recent changes in government guidance mean that the wearing of face masks is now optional. If you want to wear a face mask, we want you to feel completely comfortable in doing so - but it is no longer a requirement. We want to make Sundays as comfortable as possible for everyone.
