Saturday 12 September 2026
Next Saturday, 12 September, cyclists, walkers and riders across Wiltshire will be taking part in Ride & Stride, raising money to help preserve and maintain our county’s historic churches.
Christ Church is putting together a team this year, and we would love you to join us!
Ride & Stride is organised in support of the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust, with half of the money raised by our parish coming directly back to support our local churches. It is a great opportunity to enjoy a walk, get active and explore some of the area's beautiful historic churches, while helping to look after them for future generations.
Join one of our group walks
We are organising two walks starting from Immanuel URC on Upham Road:
11.00am – Parish Churches Walk
A walk of approximately 40 minutes, visiting local parish churches, with the option to return to Immanuel URC afterwards.
3.00pm – Shorter Walk
A shorter walk of approximately 30 minutes, also starting at Immanuel URC, with an optional return afterwards.
Both walks are open to anyone, so bring along friends and family and join the Christ Church team for a sociable afternoon.
Prefer to plan your own route?
You don't have to join one of our organised walks. You can take part in Ride & Stride in your own way, whether walking, cycling or riding, and visit participating churches across the area.
The most up-to-date list of participating churches and further information can be found on the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust website:
