This Sunday, we are holding the annual Remembrance Service at St Mark's and we'll also be taking part in the Remembrance procession from Bilton village to the church.

It will be a privilege to welcome members of the local community to this service especially representatives from the Royal British Legion, the uniformed organisations and Bilton Silver Band.

The final part of the service will take place outside at the war memorial in the churchyard.  

Timings: The Parade and Service

The Remembrance parade departs outside the Black Horse Inn at 10.15am with the service commencing at 10.50am in time for the 2 minute silence at 11.00am. Please do arrive in plenty of time and take note of the following information regarding parking and road closures.

Parking and Road Closures

The roads around Bilton village and along Church Walk will be closed between 10am and 1pm. Diversions will be in place. This will mean you would need to park in the church car park before 9.45am to use it on the day, and you will not be able to drive out of the car park until after 1pm.

Where you are able to, you are encouraged to walk to the church. However, parking will be available on a 'first come, first served' basis in the car parks at Bilton Bowls Club and the Crescent School on Bawnmore Rd.

Children at the Remembrance Service

Many of the children from the uniformed organisations will be staying in during the service. There will also be activities in the church centre. On the day, we will be asking parents to accompany their children at the church centre due to the numbers of people attending this service.
