If you bring your child dressed as an Angel any weekend afternoon between 2pm and 4.30 pm you will receive one FREE Cream Tea!

For children there is a special Angel Hunt with a surprise for each entrant. The Festival is open daily from 10.30am to 4.30pm and Cream Teas are available on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Come along and visit, signs show the way from the A4103 Worcester to Hereford road and the church volunteers will offer a very warm welcome.

19th July 18.00 Closing Service of thanksgiving.
May 7th was the Launch ceremony led by Bishop Anthony of Hereford in Cradley Church, by invitation for sponsors, donors and helpers. Celia Kilner, the artist, commented that this was the fourth year for her angels; they had visited seven locations and raised over £45,000 for good causes!
May 9th - At the Hymnathon six choirs sang all the Hymns that included reference to Angels. It created a unique atmosphere for all the visitors!
May 16th, there was a full house for the Illustrated Art Lecture on Angels through the ages by John Travis, in the Village Hall. John took the subject from the earliest examples, through Roman, Baroque, and Renaissance periods up to the present day with the celestial music for St. Cecilia, and a final reference to the Coventry St. Michael and the Devil by Jacob Epstein.
June 7th, concert by ‘Border Voices’, a Herefordshire based chamber choir specialising in Renaissance choral music, who have raised thousands of pounds for charities. The programme included music by Josquin Des Prez, Jean Richafort, Ludovious Senfl, Adrian Willaert, Heinrich Isaac, William Cornish (elder and younger), John Sheppard and a stunning piece (O magnum mysterium) composed more recently by Morten Lauresden. The excellent accoustics of Cradley Church and the presence of the Angels, many of whom were first painted in Renaissance times, made the evening surreal and unforgettable!
June 20th 7.30pm Angels - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly? In words; poetry prose and Music - the concert by Bruce Herriot, with Peter & Rosemary Diamond was thought provoking, interesting and amusing. "If Angels didn't exist then it would be necessary to invent them." There was quite a buzz of exitement for the 6pm picnic on the Church lawn before the concert, with the summer party overflowing the interval bubbly and strawberries from the Village Hall onto the lawn.
On Sunday June 28th there Music in the Air in Cradley. The Wind Band 'Single Reeds' (Single Reeds, Malvern) held their weekly practice session in the churchyard of St. James the Great church in Cradley. The informality of the 'master class' made the afternoon very pleasant and relaxed. The Cradley Angels guaranteed the fine weather, with the band sheltering from the sun under the massive yew tree.
CANCELLED July 4th, The ‘A’ Factor Talent contest. CANCELLED
