St Mark’s Anglican Church has been at the heart of Warwick’s CBD and history for over 150 years and an upcoming festival hopes to showcase its community contribution.
The Heart of Heritage festival over April 16-18 is the church’s grand event return after coronavirus, in conjunction with the National Trust Queensland.
