Celebrate Christmas at St Peter and St Paul, Uppingham

Celebrate Christmas at St Peter and St Paul, Uppingham

As the winter air settles over the historic market town of Uppingham, the bells of St Peter and St Paul ring out a warm invitation to the community. This Christmas, the parish church offers a variety of services designed to capture the wonder, tradition, and joy of the season.

Whether you are looking for a lively celebration for the little ones or a moment of quiet, candlelit reflection, there is a place for you in the heart of our town.

The transition from Advent to Christmas begins with two distinct services:

• 4:00 pm – Family Nativity Service Perfect for families and the young at heart, this service brings the Christmas story to life. Expect a relaxed atmosphere filled with well-loved carols and a retelling of the birth of Jesus that children will cherish.

• 11:00 pm – Christmas Midnight Mass Experience the profound beauty of the "first Mass of Christmas." As the world hushes, we gather in the candlelit church to celebrate the incarnation. With traditional liturgy and powerful hymns, this is a moving way to usher in Christmas Day.

The celebrations continue on December 25th with two opportunities to worship, catering to different traditions of the Anglican faith:

• 8:00 am – BCP Holy Communion For those who find peace in the timeless language of the Book of Common Prayer, this early morning service offers a quiet, contemplative start to the day. It is a moment of stillness and grace before the festivities begin at home

• 10:00 am – Choral Christmas Eucharist The centerpiece of our Christmas morning. This service is a grand celebration featuring the church’s rich musical tradition. With the choir leading us in festive praise, we come together as a full community to celebrate the birth of Christ with word, song, and sacrament.

The Church of St Peter and St Paul stands as a beacon of hope and community. They look forward to welcoming neighbours and visitors alike to share in the "Good News" this Christmas.

Location: Market Place, Uppingham, Rutland. All are welcome, regardless of whether you are a regular congregant or visiting for the first time.

Stilton Cheese Classic Vehicle Run Uppingham Market Place, Uppingham, LE15 9QH

Stilton Cheese Classic Vehicle Run

Sunday, April 23rd, 2023

8:30am - 12:00pm

Uppingham Market Place, Uppingham, LE15 9QH

Uppingham has again been chosen as the starting point of this annual event which commemorates the original route taken by horse drawn carriages to deliver Stilton Cheese from Quenby Hall to the Bell Inn at Stilton, calling at villages and towns on the way.

On Sunday April 23rd around 160 classic vehicles will enter the town centre and park briefly in the High Street,

the Market Place and the surrounding area. Drivers will be leaving their vehicle on show while entering The

Falcon Hotel to register for the event and receive their participation certificate. Registration is between 8.30am and 11.30am and the town should be clear of the classic vehicles by around 12 noon as they make their way to the Bell Inn.

Arrangements for the morning are as follows: -

• A road closure order from 6am on Sunday April 23rd affecting the Market Place, the High Street down

to the Queen Street junction and upper Queen Street. These will be sealed off for use by

Classic/Vintage Cars only, plus emergency vehicles. The formal closure will end at 12 noon.

Please note that it would be helpful if any business deliveries scheduled for that morning are notified to the organiser so that special arrangements can be made.

As always, such town centre events are only possible because of the collaboration given by our town

centre community. It is hoped that all affected residents and visitors will be able to move their vehicles

in time for the arriving cars. Please let me know of any difficulties. Churchgoers should be able to access the short and long stay car parks, but they will of course be very busy.

They say that beauty is only skin deep, but in Uppingham it’s built into the fabric of its honey-coloured houses. From the thatched cricket pavilion to the quaint old market square, there’s a feast for the eyes at every turn — cobbled alleys, pots bursting with bay and box, and immaculate front gardens. This is a place that cares about appearances. Life here is pleasingly traditional — and not just in November when the streets are full of sheep and cattle for the fatstock show, using temporary pens in the market square, or April when vintage cars gather for the Stilton Cheese Run.

The food is very good all freshly prepared, so be prepared for a little wait.

The service is fantastic.

The only disappointment for me was the special set menu rule, you have to have a minimum of two people pay for it. Not so good when you are the only awkward vegetarian at the table.
