EVENTS
We are proud to offer a variety of events throughout the year that cater to our diverse community. Our most popular events include the summer fete and the Harrow Civic Service, which celebrate the unique spirit of our Borough Church.
Summer Fete
Our summer fete happens in June, and is the highlight of our year. It is packed with family fun, friendship, and old-world charm. Come and enjoy mellow jazz and ice-cold Pimms, vintage steam-engine rides and tours of the bell-tower. There are always lots of stalls and games, including Fairtrade, homemade produce and our brilliant raffle.
Civic Service
Every year, after the election of the new Mayor of Harrow, the Council and various Community Groups and Faith Leaders join us in early summer, for a wonderful Civic Service. This is often followed by a reception in Harrow Boys' School.
