ANNUAL EVENT

For over a 100 years the church has held and annual fete which they call a Dankfees (Direct translation would be something like Thanks Festival).  It is held on or the closest weekend of 1 May and the Fete starts on the Friday and culminates with a Sunday morning church service and a lunch in the church hall.  The income from the Fete is for the upkeep of the church building as well as other administrative expenditure associated with a church. 
Be sure to book accommodation early, a year in advance is recommended.
