QUIET DAYS
In 2025, we continue to offer a programme of Quiet Days at Ferrar House (using St John’s Church as well). These will be led by local ministers – not all ordained, and not all Anglican! Held on the 4th Friday of the month, from February to November, they offer a chance to step out of your regular routine to be with God in a variety of ways.
Quiet Days will run from 10 – 4, with coffee served from 9.30 am. The cost of the days includes a simple soup lunch and afternoon tea. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day. The total cost for the day is £32.

NOTICE REGARDING UNAUTHORISED ACTS OF WORSHIP
Although we welcome other groups of visitors and pilgrims to hold acts of worship in St John’s Church, any such act of worship must be arranged through the Chaplain, who has to check that necessary safeguarding protocols and procedures are followed.
Please contact Fiona Brampton as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements.
This is a Church of England requirement and the PCC of Great Gidding with Steeple Gidding and Little Gidding reserve the right to lock St John’s Church if we understand any unauthorised acts of worship are planned. We hope this final act will be unnecessary.
Thank you.
