| St. Mary's as an Exhibition,Concert and Recital Venue : St. Mary's is an excellent Exhibition Venue because of its location, beauty, size, acoustics and wonderful new lighting. Some Organisations have used it for years for special Services, concerts and recitals. We believe the recently installed augmentary lighting has added greatly to the quality of the venue and we hope this will attract more 'bookings'.
Margaret Hunton, our Tourism Officer, has been organising at least three exhibitions every year for the past many years. If you are interested in putting on an exhibition in St. Mary's Church please contact her on 01845 524904.
To arrange Recitals, Concerts or Special Services you may contact the Media Officer on 01845 523247 but email communications are preferred: media@stmaryschurchthirsk.org.uk | Items Always Welcome for ‘Bring and Buy’ Stalls
: The‘Bring and Buy’ stall at the 2011 Christmas exhibition raised £140. Half the money went to Thirsk Clock to help young people alone at Christmas. We shall continue to hold these events so please bear this in mind when you're cleaning, decluttering or looking for homes for unwanted items. St. Mary's will be delighted to take them off your hands and store them until such time as they are required. Contributions may be left in church or contact the Media Officer if you need items collected.
| ‘A CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS'. This was our eighth annual Community Christmas exhibition and the Preview Party on Friday 2nd December was well supported. Local businesses, organisations, churches and children all took part. They decorated trees, created floral arrangements and produced the most amazing or amusing exhibits.
If you would like to join in next year the title will be "Christmas Wonderland". Just email the Media Officer to go on the database of exhibitors. | ***********************Bring & Buy Stall-Ready for Action********************* :
