What to Expect when you Visit

St Peter’s Church is open daily, and everyone is welcome to visit and join us for services.


We are a member of the Inclusive Churches Network, and everyone is welcome to join us just as you are. We work hard to improve accessibility in the Church, and there is step-free access for the main services (please note that both the side chapel and the high altar are not step-free). There are also accessible facilities in the Church.


The words for our service are on large screens mounted on the pillars. We have chairs rather than pews, and these are easily moved to accommodate mobility aids. Please just ask our stewards. There is also a specially designed space in the centre of the church to help with aids and prams. All invitations to stand in our service are purely invitations; if you’d rather sit, please do. You’re invited to engage in worship however it works best for you.


Families and children are welcome, and please do not worry if little ones need to rush about or make a bit of noise. We have a children’s area in the centre of the church with toys and books available all the time. Children and families are important to us, and you are always welcome.


There’s no dress code, and you’re welcome to sit wherever you like.


We have an organ and a piano that are used during the service, as well as a standing choir, which you are welcome to join. The congregation also joins in singing hymns during our Sunday service.


After our Sunday services, we have refreshments, and you are invited to join us. If it is your first time at the church, or you are visiting, then please do stay and have a chat with us!


The first Sunday of the month is our more informal Café Church style worship, where we share a late breakfast, hear from the Bible and share in bread and grapes together as an agape meal. (Our breakfast is donation only, so don’t worry about the cost!)


The 11am Eucharist on Thursdays uses traditional language. This is a quiet service of Holy Communion with no singing.


If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
