All-year-round activities
ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH holds a number of social activities throughout the year. To keep up to date with all that’s going on at the church please bookmark this page and pay us a regular visit.
Each month between October and May, the church hosts a quiz for teams of six from the various British groups active in and around Puerto de la Cruz.
Among those taking part on a regular basis are: The Church; The English Library; the British Games Club; ESTA, the amateur dramatics group; the Friends of Tenerife; and the Wednesday Group. Each of the competing teams takes a turns at compiling the questions.
The quizzes are open to everyone but only the regular teams are able to compete for the monthly trophy.

Group activities at the church
A NUMBER OF group activities take place at the church throughout the week.
A ladies sewing group meets on Thursday mornings to make articles to sell on the church stall at the Car Boot Sales held once a month in the church grounds during the winter months.
A men’s maintenance group meets at the same time, tackling the many jobs required for the upkeep of the many buildings that occupy our two-acre site.
A gardening group meets on Tuesday mornings to look after the gardens of both the church and the English Cemetery down in Puerto de La Cruz.
The Parsonage serves many functions
THE PARSONAGE can be found within the grounds and to the rear of the church. It is the focal point of many of the church’s activities.
The building was completely reformed in 2009, a task made necessary by the discovery of an extensive termite infestation.
It is a two-floor building designed to accommodate the incumbent on its upper level, while on the ground floor there are meeting rooms and offices as well as a fully-equipped kitchen to meet the catering requirements of social functions.
Hugely popular monthly event
CAR BOOT SALES are held in the Church Grounds on the first Saturday of January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November and December.
They are hugely popular, drawing large numbers of Canarians in addition to members of the British and European ex-pat communities as well as holiday visitors of all nationalities.
We charge an entrance fee of €1 per person and all proceeds go towards church running costs.
The gates open to the public at 11am.
Pitches can be pre-booked by calling Wendy Sanderson on 922 320 978 or 605 486 792.
