​Wednesday 17th September, 2025. BookBox, 8pm in the Community Hall. ‘101 Things You Didn’t Know about Richmond Park’ by Tim Harrison, Editor of The Good Life. Walled in by Charles l in the 1630s, so he could hunt deer, Richmond Park is the largest Royal park, contains 130,000 trees, and has 700 deer. But here are 101 facts that you DIDN’T know about the 2,360-acre space on our doorstep!

​

Most BookBox events are accompanied by a recommended book to share (although you can enjoy without). Copies of most of the titles are either available, or can be ordered, from our friendly local independent bookshop, The Regency Bookshop in Surbiton and they also often have tickets (and there is a discount if you buy both ticket and book from them).

​

How to book: For church services, just turn up! Tickets for BookBox cost £10 per person. They are available from us in church after services, or from Eventbrite via our website. If you find access difficult, or prefer to speak to someone in person, you can call Diana Jemmett 020 8398 1184 or Joanne Hall on 020 8398 5637.

​

At each evening we serve home-made refreshments. You can just turn up on the day, but it’s helpful if you book – so our wonderful social committee can prepare ahead.

​

Get involved: We are always delighted to welcome those who would like to help: our social team runs a monthly Friendship Lunch on the first Friday; magazine distributors support their local roads; our technical team helps with recording or events; our gardening team keep the church grounds looking lovely (and learn about gardening at the same time). Full training and comradeship are always on offer!
