STOP PRESS 24 June 2021. It probably comes as no surprise, given the recent announcement from the Prime Minister, that we are going to have to cancel this event.  I?m really disappointed about this, as are Lauren, Georgia and Joe. Whilst churches are allowed to hold public worship we are not allowed to hold events/concerts ? anything that isn?t an act of worship - so I can't hold this in Emmanuel. However, I'm hoping to arrange another GITG on 22 August 2021 but without Lauren who isn't available because of other commitments (but with another act added) and I'm hopeful you'll still want to join with us then.  I'm sure you realise it's quite a challenge to juggle everyone's commitments at short notice. Your tickets with WGT will still be valid, though you can cancel and claim your money back if the new date or line up doesn't work for you. You should hear from WGT in due course. However, I'm hoping you'd still want to support live music and artists in these challenging times for the music industry.  Details will be available as soon as I have them. Be safe and be blessed. Paul.

My now famous annual Gig in the Garden takes place on Sunday 11 July 2021.  We have three fabulous artists to enjoy with a mixture of Americana/Country, Folk/Blues, Swing/Jazz/Reggae and classic songs as we welcome back Billericay  favourite Lauren Housley, introduce the vibrant Georgia and the Vintage Youth and Joe Slater.

DOORS 15.00 / Joe 16.00 / Georgia 17.00 / Lauren 18.30 (all timings approximate)

TICKETS are very reasonably priced at: Adults £20 & fees (gate £25) / Under 16 yrs £10 & fees (gate £15)

PROCEEDS From this event will be given to the Purple Community Fund working in The Philippines alongside some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in Asia, many of whom live on the largest rubbish dump in the world.

COVID-19 There will be a reduced number of people in attendance as we seek to follow government guidelines which may still be in place in July. 

HOW TO FIND US Billericay Rectory can be found on Laindon Road, CM12 9LD and is a 10 minute walk from Billericay station (25 mins from Liverpool Street). We are only 5 mins off the A127 and 10 mins off the A12.

PLEASE ENTER The Rectory Garden via the small gate to the left of the Rectory on Laindon Road, not by the gate next to the Community Garden / Car Park, as this will be locked!

PARKING You can park in Emmanuel church (next door) which is just a short walk from the Rectory. There is also parking on the High Street or in the car park behind Iceland.

WEATHER In the event of inclement weather, the ?Gig in the Garden? will take place in Emmanuel.

FOOD & DRINK As with other outdoor events here at The Rectory, you are encouraged to bring along a picnic to enjoy ? alcohol allowed!

SEATING No seating is provided. Please bring a blanket or a fold-up garden chair (and something warm to wear ? just in case!!) Please note, because of limited space, no tables, gazebo?s or parasols are permitted. Please be sure to take all your litter home with you.
