Kirkop

Feast of St Leonard

Each second Sunday of September, Kirkop bursts into celebration for the Feast of St Leonard, the village’s beloved patron saint. St Leonard, known as the protector of prisoners and the sick, holds a special place in local hearts, and the village rallies together to honour him. Kirkop’s feast is especially renowned for its community spirit, where residents decorate the streets and welcome visitors with open arms and festive hospitality.
