College of St. Barnabas

Our fullest heritage open day programme yet as we bring in new speakers to give talks on aspects of the local heritage and as we invite other local organisations to join us for the day, including local steam enthusiasts and the local static engine society. We know that our Founder used a Magic Lantern when giving illustrated talks 130 years ago so in keeping with the theme of "Then and Now", we are delighted to have the Magic Lantern Society join us on the day. We will have craftwork on display this year, as well as hands-on crafting opportunities for children and various other stands. There will of course be a refreshment and beer tent serving teas, coffees, soft drinks, local beers and wines, and light snacks. The fabulous Edenbridge Town Band will be performing between 11.45 and 12.45.
Other residents of the College will be involved on the day in giving talks, in leading the guided tours and our resident organist will be providing organ recitals. As ever, a half-size traction engine will be onsite for steam-hauled rides. Join us at 4pm for Evensong.
