The Rock Sanctuary prepares for first events at restored St Andrew’s

Conservation work at St Andrew’s church is entering the final stages as the historical building, which is being turned into a multi-faith hub for dialogue and learning called The Rock Sanctuary, is made ready for its first event in November.

Businessman Lesley Ratcliffe, the driver behind the project, said The Rock Sanctuary will host events during the literary festival in November as a prelude to its formal opening in May next year.
