The Friends of Amesbury Abbey Church is a group committed to preserving the fabric of the ancient church building of St Mary and St Melor. The Friends organise different fund raising events during the year and try to offer a variety of activities to appeal to people in Amesbury and the surrounding area. Recent events have included a Curry and Quiz evening, a Burns Night with haggis, a race evening and an Open Gardens Day. In addition there are two main fund raising events each year; the very popular Fun Day/May Fair held in the beautiful setting of Amesbury Abbey Nursing Home (featuring the famous Duck Race on the River Avon) by kind permission of Mrs Mary Cornelius –Reid. Plus the Christmas Bazaar and Grand Draw.

The Friends welcome anyone to become a member or to help at events, you do not have to be an Anglican or attend Church to join or to help!
