Much of the work of Churches Together is on an individual basis, praying together, promoting cooperation and publicising activities, but occasionally we join forces to put on events.
A List of all events organised by Churches Together can be found in the calendar.
Alpha Course
Looking for answers? The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over several, low key, friendly, thought-provoking weekly sessions.
Find out more about the course and when the next one is scheduled here.

Royston Arts Festival
The Royston Arts Festival is an annual event that takes place in the community of Royston. It makes a unique contribution to the life of the town: with over 50 different events, in 20 venues and attracts thousands of visitors. Churches Together regularly participate in the festival from Songs of Praise to workshops.
Find out more here.
Light Party
The Light Party is an alternative to dressing up and doing scary nasty stuff associated with halloween! It's a safe fun time for children to come and play games, make things etc. with a Christian theme. Churches Together have been running the Light Party since 2008 and many children have been blessed.
