‘We’re really hoping to spread some Christmas cheer this year, and so have put some work into training our two shire horses to double up as Santa’s reindeer! On the evening of Saturday 12th December, our two ‘reindeers’ will be travelling around Horley, with our very own Santa Claus to spread some festive cheer. ‘

Sadly we won’t be able to have Horley’s Christmas market in the Church this year, but a selection of the usual stalls will be available virtually instead. More details to follow, but for starters, you can order Christmas cards and Advent calendars from one of our usual stall holders, Agnes from Flamingo Paperie, who will kindly donate 10% of all orders to Horley Ladies Guild in support of St Etheldreda’s Church.
Browse the online catalogue and then order from Agnes by visiting her website or sending her a message on her facebook page.
Mention ‘Ladies Guild’ in your order to make sure we receive our donation. Please place your orders by 20 November and they will be delivered in early December.
A huge thank you for your support and generosity for the Ladies Guild Breast Cancer Now Virtual Coffee Morning. We sold 30 cakes, 7 small bakes and 10 pots of jam and with the additional donations on Just Giving raised an amazing sum of £430.
Thanks in particular go to Sue Ashdown who co-ordinated the complex cake makers vs purchasers, it was a great success.

As a result of the lockdown from Thursday, there will be a short service of Remembrance at St Etheldreda’s, Horley on Wednesday 4th November at 10:55.
