 Glen Gardens Scarecrow Festival 2026. 

Heworth Past - Heworth Present
The theme of the 2026 Scarecrow Festival was wonderful news for Heworth Methodist Church!.

Heworth Past
John Wesley (1703 - 1792)  was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. There was a growing Methodist Community here in Heworth during the late 1700s, but it wasn't until November 1826, that the first Methodist Church was opened here in Heworth.   

Heworth Present 
In 2026, Heworth Methodists are celebrating 200 years of Methodist Community from the Heworth Village location.
Yes, that's right, for two centuries our church family have been a cornerstone of the Heworth commnuity. 
We are wondering if you or any family member been part of this community?

Were you or family members baptised here? 
Did you attend Sunday School here as a child or young person? 
Maybe you got married here? 
Do you have a heart for this place through events attended and comnections with its people? 

If you say 'yes' to any of these, we would love to hear from you! 
We are planning a celebration weekend and events  for 12 - 13th November. We would love to celebrate everyone who has shared in this Methodist Community. So, even if only a few words or a picture with a brief explanation, please share your experiences of being part of this community with us via our church administrator this email  
We look forward to hearing from you. 

Heworth Present-Future
Our faraway tree fairy, invites you to share in a new branch of our community. This November, we will be holding our first full Forest Church gathering in Glen Gardens. We are offering Forest Church in order to create a new activity/community across York. A  local community with a place to  connect with nature, with something bigger than ourselves themselves, (God or however you may wish to think about such connections)  and with one another.
