Rush Sunday 24th May

Rush Weekend has arrived once again - one of the highlights of Bristol’s civic calendar and a tradition

that stretches back more than 500 years, predating the Reformation. To mark this historic occasion,

St Mary Redcliffe will host a weekend festival celebrating Redcliffe, its heritage, and the wider

community.

Saturday 23 May, 13:00–17:00 ~Community Day~

At Faithspace Community Centre, Redcliffe Methodist Church, Prewett St, Redcliffe, Bristol BS1 6PB

and St Mary Redcliffe Church, Redcliffe, Bristol BS1 6RA

On Saturday the 23rd May we will be hosting a community day This is Redcliffe, celebrating our local

Redcliffe community. Local people will bring dishes from around the world to share with their

neighbours. We will have children's activities (bouncy castle, face painting etc.), a parade, music,

cooking workshops, health checks and different community groups showcasing what they do.

Sunday 24 May, Rush Services

At St Mary Redcliffe Church, Redcliffe, Bristol BS1 6RA

Held within the gothic splendour of St Mary Redcliffe Church, the Rush Service combines the historic

exhortation of a former Mayor of Bristol; the intense aroma of lavender, bay, rosemary and other

herbs designed to keep disease at bay; the renewal of rushes on what would have been an earthen

floor; and the sights and sounds of modern pageantry all within the ‘fairest, goodliest and most

famous parish church in all England’. This year's Rush service will celebrate the gifts of the historic

figures of Redcliffe's past as we continue to look for inspiration today.

We also have a 09:00 service of Communion, and a 15:00 service of Choral Evensong.
