Open Gardens 2025
What a wonderful weekend! The 5th and 6th of July may not have brought much sunshine, but they were filled with colour, infinite variety, good company and joyful conversation. This year's Open Gardens and Craft display was a huge success.
Festival of Christmas Trees and Angels 2024
A glorious display of Festive Trees and Angels!
From December 12th to 15th, St Andrew's was filled with the joy and hope of Christmas, with decorated trees celebrating the life of Harberton in every pew and a throng of beautiful angels filling the spaces and the window sills and even hanging from the pillars.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their artistic skill and imagination.

Big Breakfast 2023
Big Breakfast - another hit in 2023
Our first Big Breakfast, in October 2022, was a great success, with delicious Continental and Full English Breakfasts served in our Parish Hall to over one hundred people. The PCC are responsible for this lovely occasion and once again there was a great atmosphere with people of all ages enjoying the warm village vibe.
Christmas Tree Festival 2022
The weather was not kind to us for this event, with one day of dangerous iciness and the next beset by gales and torrential rain! But once again St Andrew's was a haven of light and beauty, with warming soup and delicious cake to add to the joy. Young and old braved the elements to enjoy the wonderful creativity of the villagers who had decorated the trees. A total of £1,867 was raised and the Festival closed with a traditional Carol Service.
Look in the Gallery to see more pictures of the event.
2022
This yrear's Open Gardens and Craft Fair took place over a weekend of blistering heat and once again illustrated the extraordinary diversity of natural beauty, artistic talent and culinary expertise in and around our village. Many thanks to all those who contributed.
2022
Did you visit our fascinating Photographic Exhibition in the summer of 2022? We put it together to tell some of the stories hidden in our magnificent medieval church. We hope this will become an annual event, running through the summers to stimulate interest and make people look again at our historic church building.
Jonathan Bean, who curated the exhibition, has now put it into albums which can be found at the back of the Church.
