Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all our friends around the world from everyone at St Peter’s Church. We hope you have a peaceful and happy holiday season, and we look forward to welcoming you all to the birthplace of the Beatles next year as we celebrate the 65th anniversary of the day that John met Paul in St Peter’s Church Hall!
We are delighted and privileged to announce that the Quarrymen will be performing in the Church Hall, just as they did 65 years ago. The Quarrymen will be supported by The Shakers, the Cavern’s resident Merseybeat group and leading exponents of the original Mersey Sound today! In addition to three sets of live music, the ticket price includes a buffet, with both savoury and sweet finger food and nibbles. Following the format of the highly successful “Celebration of Community” dance held on July 7, 2017, all guests are welcome to bring their own drinks!
Along with the nation, we paused at St Peter’s Church today to remember all those who have served, all those who lost their lives as a result of their service, and their family and friends.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
On Saturday July 9, 2022, the Quarrymen will be playing a special concert in St Peter’s Church Hall to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the day that John met Paul and the Lennon-McCartney partnership began!
