The Church is open every day of the year for people to visit and to pray. The building is also used in the summer for afternoon teas every Friday and welcomes a wide range of local people as well as holidaymakers and tourists.
All Saints' Church is part of a Benefice of five beautiful village churches, each with their own individual identity. The churches work together on a number of wide ranging issues, particularly on mission and evangelism within our communities. All the churches have services throughout the month, plus there are joint activities within the Benefice, including a popular children's group.
