Permablitz at St Mary's Church
Saturday 25th February
10.00am - 4.30pm

Come along and join us in Stoke Newington to kick-start a community garden – Mary’s Garden - in St Mary's church grounds. This is the first permablitz at the site and we will be clearing the ground, laying a lasagne mulch to improve the soil and planting fruit trees and bushes. Mini workshops will include:

• How to lay a lasagne mulch
• Winter tree care
• Planting bare-rooted fruit trees and bushes

RSVP Essential: if you want to come along you need to let us know so we know numbers for lunch, which is provided, and so we can give you all the specific details.

Go to http://www.permablitzlondon.com/event/permablitz-at-st-marys-church/ and follow the link to let us know you want to join St Mary’s Church Permablitz.

We are holding a community engagement event on Tuesday 31st January from 7.15 - 9.00pm in St Mary's Centre to discuss the creation of a community garden - Mary's Garden - on ground at the east side of St Mary's Church & Centre. During this engagement event we will be presenting the project and holding a listening circle to hear your ideas. 

CHRISTMAS 2022

The Stokey Winter market returns to the atmospheric St Mary’s ‘big’ Church. Perfectly located opposite Clissold Park on Stoke Newington Church Street, the market is on from 11 to 5 on the 26th November.
Featuring designer-makers selling a range of original non-mass produced items the market is the perfect place to help you find special and unique gifts. There is even a LEGO table to help keep the kids busy while you look around.

Some fantastic photos from North London Dirt Bike Ride 5 that happened earlier in May to raise money for St Mary's Centre. Thank you!
