Community Noticeboard

There's always lots going on in and around Ilkley, and we will put up notices and posters of local events on this page. We regularly update this page so please come back to check for new events. All events are listed in date order. 

We also send out a weekly news bulletin with useful information about what's going on at All Saints as well as church family news. If you'd like to sign up for this, then you can do so here.   

Thursday October 30th - Making Ilkley's homes warmer, greener and cheaper to run

Join Climate Action Ilkley and Wrapt Home, local retrofit experts, for a friendly and practical session all about making Ilkley's homes more energy efficient. We'll take a deep dive into what it really takes to make our typical stone-built and older homes warmer, healthier and more affordable to heat. We will also share what works (and what doesn't), with plenty of time for questions and open discussion. Whether you're just curious or ready to take action, come along for ideas, advice and a good chat about how to make your home - and Ilkley - more sustainable.
