The church building lies between the Wilton Garden Centre and the roundabout on the A36 in Wilton (SP2 0BJ).
This ancient parish church with its unique hand pumped organ and gas lighting (currently not in use) where George Herbert was rector form 1630-33 provides an atmospheric space for enjoying creative arts.
Currently lacking electricity supply and other facilities, the newly formed Fugglestone St Peter Trust (Registered Charity 1213873) is raising money to fund the redevelopment of this ancient buidling into a joint place or worship and community facility
Due to the lack of electricity, there is no lighting or heating in the church and the seating will be on wooden pews so you may wish to bring cushions, warm clothes or blankets and torches. The concert will be candlelit and there will be a bar available

Our Previous Events:
The Churchfitters March 2020
and December 2024
Described by Phil Beer as “Great band...very cool Celtic rock outfit. Very different”, the Churchfitters are a folk band like no other. A bass guitar made out of a frying pan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock bouzouki. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.
The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments - adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, stand up dustbin bass and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades.
Throw in some exquisite harmonies, a slew of startlingly original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you’ve got a high energy show that always leaves audiences cheering. How do you adequately describe such a musically diverse, uplifting band? You leave it to Mike Harding, a self-confessed ‘huge, huge fan’. He calls them 'totally brilliant and beautiful'.
DAVE PEGG, FAIRPORT CONVENTION AND CROPREDY FESTIVAL :
"I knew as soon as I saw Boris's instruments that the Churchfitters were going to be interesting. However, on watching their set I can honestly say that they are the most musically inventive quartet that I have seen in decades. They received a standing ovation from the festival. Go and see them and you will understand why. A must.”
CHESTER FOLK FESTIVAL :
"Stunning, energetic performances, inspired arrangements, superlative stagecraft."
"These are musicians who know how to wring every last drop of passion from a song...Organisers !!!…book this band, you won’t be disappointed."
"Their act is full of energy, excitement and fun...so good that they turned a packed audience into a hollering horde, unwilling to let them go..."
