Vicar of Dibley Marathon announced!

Take part in our Vicar of Dibley Marathon on Saturday, October 25 - this may well be your only chance to binge-watch all 20 episodes of this BBC hit comedy back-to-back! And for what a good cause - you'll be raising much-needed funds for St. Catherine's!
Here’s the trick – it’s free to enter at 9 a.m., but you have to pay if you leave early.
That’s right – if you leave in the first hour, it will cost you a thousand bucks. (Unfortunately for our budget, we don’t think anyone will do that!) If you leave before 11 a.m., don’t worry – we’ll only hit you up for $200. Leave before 1, and it’ll cost $150. And so on. If you make it to the end of the night, you’ll get off scott free!
But you’ll still be raising money for the church. We hope that parishioners who aren’t able to come themselves will give a donation for every marathoner who is still present - and at least semi-awake! - when the event wraps up at 9 or 10 at night. And marathoners, we encourage you to collect personal pledges from your family and friends!
If you can only come for an hour or two, we’ll make an exception and sell you a three-show pass for $30. We hope everyone else is in for the long-term!

We promise you that this will be a really fun day, with lots of the Vicar of Dibley’s favourite foods, trivia contests, lots of laughs, and great company. There are more details on the posters in the lobby or on our website here.
