Events and Special Services at St Peter's
​Our church is a place where there is always something going on including regular and special services of worship. We also enjoy a variety of social and special events, with fundraising and so much more.
Many of these planned social activities and events also help St Peter's to raise vital funds for the ongoing maintenance of our church and it's buildings. The church relies on the assistance and generosity of the community and year upon year, the people of Burnham and the wider diocese step up and help so much.
Your attendance and support at any of these occasions is always welcomed and much appreciated.
See the various posters, flyers and notices around the village community boards, Sainsburys in Taplow, social media groups, and this website throughout the year, for more details on the services and events.
To find out more about upcoming happenings - read the News Sheet each week or you can also download the Monthly Notice Sheet below.
Together, we will continue to raise funds and awareness, whilst uplifting our community - and each other - sharing our faith in the Spirit of fun times, mutual interests and friendships of many years.
All of which is centred around our Christian faith and the historic and beautiful
St Peter's Church in Burnham.
You are all very welcome to come along and we look forward to seeing you soon.
