BEER Festival: Just a week to go until one of the highlights of the year – the beer festival. It takes place on Saturday, September 5, from 7pm until 11pm.

There will be a wide range of local beers available, along with hot food from Simple Frank’s Street Kitchen, and live music. Tickets are on sale on 01256 811262 or via hatchwarren.org. Tickets are £7 for members, £8 for non-members.

NEW service schedule: Immanuel Church is beginning a new schedule on the first weekend of every month, starting from September 5. Every first Saturday there will be a modern evening service at 6pm, and every first Sunday, there will be a “cafe style” service, starting at 9.30am with breakfast, and a simple communion service in the evening at 6.30pm.
