In late June 2013 Chollerton church held a stunning Flower Festival on the theme: A Church for all Seasons. Over 800 people visited us.

Our displays included robes worn by our Vicar during the seasons of the Church year as well as arrangements which reflected the seasons in creation.  
Much hard work was put in by very many people.

Over £300 was raised for Birtley church one afternoon in February 2014 when we were invited to view the beauty and experience the peacefulness of a private Northumbrian garden.
