Events at St James
Our aim is to bring our church back to being at the heart of our community in Husborne Crawley. To do this we need to raise funds to maintain the building and improve the facilities, and as well as holding services we want to stage events where everyone will feel welcome and enjoy our beautiful church.

Our aim for St James' is to bring it back to being at the centre of our community by keeping it as a place of worship, holding events and activities (such as this concert) and to preserve the 800 years of heritage in the building.
Any proceeds from this event will go towards improving the amenities in the building. At present we are collecting for proper toilet facilities and a kitchen. The concert and the refreshments are free but any donations will help us in our quest.
Last time your generous donations helped us buy a much needed new heating system. Thank you for your continued support!
