THE GREATEST GIFT' was a 'Drama with Carols' free to all. It was Fordingbridge's own, original & unique retelling of 'The Christmas Story', set in the context of Creation!
It was presented by Avon Valley Churches on stage, in Fordingbridge Town Hall, at 6.00 pm on Friday 3rd January, and at 3.00 pm on Sunday 5th January 2025.
