In 2025 St. Andrews celebrates it's 900 year anniversary. Known as the oldest church in Darlington, it is believed that it was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. Some stones from the earlier church are embedded in the interior walls of the present church.
Why not join us during the year at some of our celebrations. This page lists the events currently planned. Further details will be released nearer the time of each event. This list is believed to be correct on 5th April. It will be updated when changes are made.
