The Vicarage
Vicarage Lane, Wookey, Wells, Somerset, BA5 1JT

The Bible can seem like a confusing assortment of events, poems and wise words. The Bible Course explains how the parts of the Bible come together to reveal an eternal God who keeps his promises.

Over 8 sessions we will journey through the sections and events of the Bible, and introduce key characters. Each session of The Bible Course uses video and discussions, but no prior knowledge is required and a course book is available. Please contact Katrina is you would like to attend: [email protected] or 07704604165

Midweek Holy Communion

Every Wednesday at for 45 mins
St Matthew's, Wookey
St Matthew's Terrace Wookey Wells Somerset, BA5 1JR, United Kingdom

Join us for a short Holy Communion service without singing. Everyone is welcome to attend even if you don't live in the village. This is a great service to come to if you find it difficult to attend Sunday services or if you want to celebrate Holy Communion during the week.

Bellringing

Every Wednesday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Matthew's, Wookey
St Matthew's Terrace Wookey Wells Somerset, BA5 1JR, United Kingdom

Come along and try bellringing! The bellringers practice every Wednesday, and new people are always welcome! Many people in Wookey greatly enjoy hearing the bells ringing out on Wednesday evenings. Please be aware that there is a spiral staircase to climb to reach the bell chamber. If you are interested in attending a bellringing session, or have any queries please contact David Sumner by email on [email protected]
