Our Place

Annual Greek Festival / Glendi

Dear Parishioners and friends of our Community.

Warm Greetings to all

Last Sunday, 29 of June, the area of Stony Stratford was filled with happy traditional Hellenic music, songs and dance together with home made food, salads, desserts and much more. The weather was on our side and the whole atmosphere reminded us of our homelands and Mediterranean colours and tastes. The feedback is that a very good time was had by all present.

This Annual Greek Festival started in 2017 and since then became a tradition to mark the joys of Summer.

Taking the opportunity we would like to offer sincere thanks, to all who participated to make the event another successful story, starting with the Mayor Cllr James Lancaster and Deputy mayor Cllr Paul Trendal of Milton Keynes, who honored us with their presence, continuing with the musicians, the dancers, all the volunteers who kindly their offered time, men/women/girls/boys, who continuously prepared-cooked-served food and drinks and doing anything else needed. A big THANK YOU, we are immensely grateful.

Best Wishes to all,

The Trustees, the Priest in Charge, and the Ecclesiastical/Community Committee
