A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE The Old Chapel at All Saints has launched an initiative to help spread some love. Built and run by nuns on the ethos of helping those whose life journey had been touched by misfortune, The Chapel was used as a place where love for others was the core value. This message is still at the heart of the Chapel today. Acknowledging that the last two years have been an awful time for many wishing to marry, the team would like to offer one couple complimentary ceremony hire at this beautiful venue. This would include venue hire, worth £2,000 and a prosecco toast each for up to 60 guests, worth £360. This has now been extended to include two further couples who would be given their venue hire at 50 per cent off. The ceremonies must be booked within the next 12 months. You can nominate yourselves or be nominated by others. To be considered for this initiative simply email allsaintsweddingsandevents@ gmail.com with a short summary of no more than 250 words explaining why you should be considered for this wonderful opportunity. Closing date for applicants is 31st May 2022.
