In 2023 the first Appledore Christian Music Festival took place in May. Appledore Baptist Church and St Mary's Church in Appledore collaborated with Christian Music Ministries to present a programme of music events, concerts, services and the musical Saints Alive. The festival was a great success - most of the events were free with just one being ticketed. This year we are organising a second Christian Music Festival with Paul Jones and Fiona Hendley opening the festival and a programme of musical events and prayers over the weekend. The costs are kept to a minimum but programmes have to be printed, breakfast and lunches are available for the singers and players and travel expenses have to be paid. The collaboration between the two churches is excellent and the festival is a truly community event for all ages. This year the musical Wildfire will be rehearsed and anyone can come along and join in the rehearsals and be part of the production in the evening. On Saturday afternoon Duggie Dug Dug will be presenting his Crazy Science Praise Party for children aged 4-11.
