what's On - upcoming events

---

Anyone with a love of cycling and churches should put this in their diary. Get a sponsor, or two, or three, or more to pay you a sum per church, and then on Saturday morning plan your route and set off to visit as many Suffolk churches as possible, on foot or by bike.  The money raised by each participant is share equally between the Historic Churches Trust and the place of worship nominated by the cyclist.

Not all churches will be open and those that usually offer refreshments may not do so this year but riders and walkers can log the name of the church visited themselves if it is unattended. You can find more information on the Ride and Stride official website: https://shct.org.uk/ride-and-stride/
