We are organising a St Mary’s Crib Festival this Christmas, from Friday 8th – Sunday 10th December, and we need your help!

We want this to be a really big event for the village and to raise lots of money for our Charity of the Year, Level Trust Luton – so have some exciting plans for the weekend which are outlined below.

Do you have a crib you could lend us for the exhibition, or could you make a crib to display?  Or are you able to help us out in some way over the weekend?

– Lend us a crib: Does it have a special story for you… an old family crib? Perhaps is it from another country or made from something unusual? Maybe someone made it for you… or you just love it?

– Make a crib: It could be made of wool, fabric, wood, toilet rolls, clay or play-dough, cake, Lego, wire, paper, bread, Minecraft, biscuits, or absolutely anything else you can think of!

– Help us out: We would be grateful for offers of help with stewarding, serving refreshments, selling raffle tickets and many more jobs over the festival weekend and in the weeks beforehand.  If you would be interested in getting involved please email stmarys@stmarysredbourn.org
