The Friends of Kent Churches Sponsored Ride & Stride takes place on the second Saturday in September each year.  In 2024 it took place on Saturday 14th September.

Ride & Stride Day is an opportunity to raise money for Kent’s churches and chapels by cycling or walking or being a welcomer in a church or chapel.  Money raised is shared equally between the church or chapel nominated by the participant and the Friends of Kent Churches which awards grants to Kent’s churches and chapels to help preserve them.

On 7th September 2024, a concert was held at the church of St. Mary the Virgin to help raise funds for ongoing repairs to the church. Organist Dean Hayward was joined by the Saltwood Handbell ringers.

The artists behind The Marsh Mosaics, ran free mosaics workshops at locations on Romney Marsh in Summer 2024, funded by Arts Council England. Workshops took place at New Romney (St. Nicholas) on 14th August and Ivychurch (St. George’s) on 22nd August, as well as other locations around New Romney. Suitable for all abilities, participants practiced by making a coaster, which took away, before adding some tiles to a new community mosaic for New Romney.

Volunteers at the church of St. Mary the Virgin organised an organ recital on 17th August 2024 at 3pm in aid of repairs to the church roof.

The recital featured Dean Hayward and Stephen Page. Tea and cake was served afterwards.

JAM on the Marsh festival returned 4-16 July 2023, bringing arts and music to the medieval churches on Romney Marsh. This 10th edition of the festival included outstanding music, outdoor theatre, poetry, exhibitions and more.
