Second Sunday of the month

Bamber Bridge, St Aidan

The Church was originally built in 1895 to serve the needs of a growing community between the parishes of St Leonard to the north and St Saviour to the south. It is able to seat up to 200 people, with sixteen rows of pews in the nave, on either side of a central aisle. Part of the south transept has been altered to form a children’s crèche area, and a central nave altar is used for most Sunday morning services.

An Ainscough pipe organ sits to the south of the Chancel, adjacent to the choir pews. The organ has undergone previous refurbishment and is played occasionally.

The Church gardens are maintained to a high standard by a volunteer team who enjoy their work. The provide a lovely space to to sit and reflect. There is no graveyard at St Aidan’s, but a small Garden of Remembrance is sited to the south of the nave; the ashes of many loved ones are interred here.

The Church sits in its own grounds, just off Station Road in Bamber Bridge. There is off road parking for 20-30 cars. Within the grounds there are two Halls, which are regularly used during the week by the local Community. There is also a Scout Hut, which is used by a scout group affiliated to St Aidan’s.

The Community Larder, which serves the local community is located in the grounds of St Aidan’s Church. The Community Larder operates two mornings per week from this facility, and the main Hall (now renamed the Community Hub) provides a warm space with refreshments at
