We are very much looking forward to having our wonderful Nativity Crib Festival back in the Church this Christmas. Last year we realised very early on that our beautiful medieval church with its narrow spaces between the pews was not going to allow social distancing. We decided to hold a Virtual Crib Festival instead so that everyone could still enjoy this amazing event, which marks the start of Christmas in St Ipployts and beyond. We managed to conquer the complexities of scheduling on Facebook and Instagram and discovered how difficult it is to take a good photo. We posted several cribs and their “stories” a day during advent (over 80 in total) to create a wonderful on-line event that reached over 20,000 people from as far afield as India, Vietnam and New Zealand. It will be fabulous to be back in the church this year with, hopefully, more cribs than ever to see. We had more than 200 cribs on show in 2019, each with the story behind the crib. One was a small as a walnut! Entry is £3, children are free and St Ippolyts Church is in Ashbrook Lane, St Ippolyts, near Hitchin, SG4 7PB. Sadly we won’t be doing refreshments or the human crib this year due to Covid restrictions. All proceeds will go towards the upkeep of the church. You can see details on Facebook under Nativity Crib Festival, or on Instagram @st_ippolyts_crib_festival. For more details contact organiser Barbara Thomas on 01462 421647 or 07443 2228468.
