“The service itself is always full of life, energy and joy whilst at the same time recognising the real challenges that face farmers and rural communities – not least those relating to economics and isolation together with the employment and housing opportunities for young people.”
The service will take place on Sunday (January 14) at 3.30pm with refreshments served from 2.30pm.
