St Mary Magdalene Church wall paintings project 2026

Church services will continue in a range of venues whilst the building closes for phase 1 of our conservation project. These include Parish Communion in the village hall, family gathering in Icklewoods and harvest in the churchyard: look out for notices on Ickleton info and www.hinkledux.com for times and dates.
Scaffolders are due to arrive on Monday April 13th to prepare the way for masons to repair the stone work and glaziers to remove the highest ‘clerestory’ windows. Hopefully this work will be completed by the beginning of July. Ready for the building to be opened for the summer. The schedule can found below.
Meanwhile there are some exciting activities – especially for families
You are invited to fun FREE Family “DROP IN” ACTIVITIES during the Easter holidays
Bring your children, grandchildren or neighbours to our free family events. You can explore, create and learn about the past. These are “drop-in” (not drop-off!) – stay-as long-as you like- events, run by professionals.
Over 1000 years ago artists created a fresco high up on the church walls to share the story of Jesus’s last meal with his friends. This year we have commissioned professional illustrator Robyn Wilson- Owen to create pictures showcasing celebratory meals in Ickleton. She needs your help! All materials are provided but maybe bring a shirt or apron because it could get messy.
We know some things about the frescos but there is more to discover. Join Heritage Education Officer Hannah Battesby to explore ideas and theories with games, quizzes and creative activities:
-              Try out techniques used by artists to make your own images
-              Lego challenges
-              Bring along a smart-phone or iPad to trial our new app
-              Imagine how it feels to be part of the action in our dress-up photo booth
-              Test your powers of observation with quizzes, games and other fun activities
Join them on:
Sunday March 29 2-5pm. Family collage workshop with Robyn
Saturday April 4th & Tuesday April 7th 2-5pm. History Explorers with Hannah

A Warm Hello

Here's what to expect if you're coming to Church on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at one of our three Churches (details here) for our main Sunday Service, which starts at 10am.

We usually serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Duxford and Ickleton Churches have a toilet.

Children are more than welcome to all of our 10am services, however the services on the first and second Sunday of the month in Ickleton are more children orientated.
