Living and Sharing the Love of Jesus Christ in the Community

There have been some amazingly wonderful concerts at Aysgarth church during 2024 thanks to the Swaledale Festival and to the Wensleydale Concert Series (WCS). It is an honour to have so many world-class musicians performing at the church.  That has certainly been true this year thanks to the Swaledale Festival and WCS.
