A friendly and simple said service followed by Coffee Break. A great way to re-orientate yourself mid-week.

Drop into the Parish Centre for a coffee and a chat - a warm welcome awaits you, whether it's your first time or hundredth!

Come along to this friendly group - if you knit, enjoy sharing patterns and skills. If knitting isn't yet your thing, you could learn a new skill, or, if you prefer, just come along for the natter! We sometimes branch out on a Friday night to the pub as well....?!

Do join us for this said service of communion. This is a small, friendly community where we get to fully enjoy the beauty of the church first thing in the morning.

Do join us for this friendly, dignified service of communion. Whether this is your first time, or you are returning after time away, or have been coming to church for some time, a warm welcome awaits.

hildren are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!

Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.

For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!​

After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!

Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!

The Church of England is in every community, and has been helping people mark the significant moments of life for generations.

Christenings are a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of a child - do get in touch to explore it more and book the date for this very special celebration!

“Thank you so much for the lovely christening….Everyone said how brilliant and calm and interesting [it was] – so thank you for making it perfect” Emily

“thank you so much for the beautiful christening service you delivered on Sunday…. [it] couldn’t have gone any better. Everybody said what a lovely service it was, full of energy” Ben

Come along to this friendly group and get involved with projects that seek to help those in need.

Join us for an evening of fun for all the family!

Not only will there be a family fun quiz BUT there will also be cheese and wine for the grown-ups, and juice for the children – so everyone’s catered for! Whether you’re a trivia whizz or, like the Vicar, absolutely hopeless at quiz nights, come along anyway and enjoy the fun of watching others rack their brains for the answers!

Tickets are £8 for adults, or £5 for children and you can get them from church or from www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-georges-church-altrincham

Our choir meets every Sunday morning at 8:30am, and then, for those that wish, stay to sing at our 9.30am service. So if you sing, or would like to give it a go, why not head down to church and be part of this lovely and friendly community?

We hope everyone has enjoyed a lovely and relaxing summer, whether you’ve been at home or away. As life begins to settle and the church starts to fill up again, we’d love to celebrate with a Back to Church Sunday!
Join us for a fun-filled afternoon featuring:
• Garden games
• Delicious scones and cakes
• AND a bouncy castle!
It’s the perfect way to reconnect, have some fun, and enjoy time together. We can’t wait to see you there!

We are delighted to have established a Children’s Choir ‘Alty Trebles’ held in school on a Monday afternoon: in other words, we’re offering free musical tuition that will last your child a lifetime!

Music is an integral part of our life at St George’s. We have seen many examples of how a good musical education has changed the lives for young people for the better. Rev. Claire remembers her time at Bradford Cathedral, when she and her husband saw many of the young choristers form wonderful communities and then go to prestigious Universities on Choral Scholarships – a journey that started in Primary School. We are very keen that pupils from our Parish have the same opportunities.

Therefore, our choir will be fun, it will be developing teamwork at a young age, and giving each child the experience of that buzz as their voices harmonise with each other. Our choir is focused on teaching our pupils how to sing properly, how to read music, and for those that want it, they will be fully prepared to sit the relevant ABRSM exams; setting them up for any musical adventure that they want to peruse in secondary school.

Lots more information on our website - come and be part of it!

Dance & sing! March like a soldier! Run like a Fairy!

This PAYF group using movement and dancing to help your little one express themselves and let off some much needed steam!

In the meantime, you get to be part of this friendly, relaxed group and make some friends along the way.

This is held in the Old School Building (next to the church building, and just behind the funeral directors)

ast year, several young people approached us, interested and serious about exploring their faith.

Our Youth Group, Pathway, is a wonderful space to hang out and relax, but we also want to offer a space where we can have good discussion and really wrestle with all the very good questions that young people often think about!

So here is Mettle!

Mettle is the place to explore faith We talk about big themes and big ideas but also play some great games and activities! There’s even pizza and ice cream (and some healthier stuff too !). All free.

We are partnering with Bowdon Church, and so the venue will alternate each week. Do encourage anyone you know to come along – sign up link below!

(Note that we start around 3.45 pm – this is to give students from all the different schools time to get there – but feel free to turn up as soon as school ends)

Many of us have found faith later in life, or returned to it after childhood experiences in church. At St George’s, we believe it’s important to have space to ask questions, explore beliefs, and talk openly about life and meaning. That’s why, in partnership with St Alban’s and Timperley Parish, we’re running an Alpha Course – a relaxed, welcoming series of sessions
that explore the basics of the Christian faith. The course begins on Thursday 26th September at 7:00pm, held right here in our Parish Centre. You’re very welcome to just come along, or get in touch if you'd like more information.

A support group for parents of children with SEND
Term Time only

Parenting can be quite a path to negotiate, even more so with children that have SEND. So, after many conversations last year, we’re going to put together an informal group where we can share experiences over a cuppa and support each other along the way.
We’re not professionals, and although we’ll invite the SENCO from Altrincham Primary School to chat now and then, it will mainly be us just listening to each other and offering lots of support and encouragement.
You don’t need to come to church on a Sunday, or have a child of a particular age – open to all. Please do spread the word.

Sometimes people ask, “What makes the Church of England unique?” There are many answers, but one thing that truly stands out is its rich heritage. Our traditions shape why we celebrate the seasons, why we serve our parish, and why we remain mindful that we do not exist in isolation. We are here because of those who came before us—those who generously gave their time, energy, and skills to build the vibrant church community we enjoy today.
While we strive to stay relevant to contemporary needs,
values, and styles of worship, we also deeply treasure our connection to the past.
That’s why, once a year, we dedicate Benefactor Sunday to give thanks to those who have shaped our church’s journey. Without their dedication, we simply wouldn’t be here today.
It also serves as a reminder that the future depends on us. People won’t be here unless we do our part—both to preserve our heritage and to equip the church with everything it needs to flourish in the years ahead.
We warmly invite you to join us—whether it’s your first time or you’ve been away for a while—to be part of our ongoing story.

Date for your Diary: The social event of the year — or at least the season! An evening filled with laughter and—new this year—a lively barn dance!
Picture a hall decked out with bunting and straw bales, buzzing with joy as we share a hearty meal and enjoy some dancing together.
Not a dancer? No worries! You can happily sit back and watch—it’s just as much fun! Tickets are £5 for adults and £3 for children. If the cost is a concern, please do get in touch—we really want you to be there!

Get tickets here: www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-georges-church-altrincham

Another date for your diary! Hopefully, with full tummies from the night before, we’ll come together on the 5th for our Annual Harvest Festival. We may not be farmers ourselves, but we depend entirely on the hard work of farmers and the bounty of their harvest!
We’ve got the bales and plans for decorations—and now all we need is you!
This is an all-age service, and we’re excited to welcome our Guiding and Scouting groups as we celebrate the season of Harvest. For those who are able, we’ll also be collecting food donations for our local Food Bank.

Remembering Babies Loved and Lost.
Each year we come together to remember babies who were loved and lost far too soon. It was an incredibly special and meaningful time that stayed with us throughout the year. This year, we warmly invite anyone who would find comfort in gathering again to join us.
Please know that it doesn’t matter how long ago or why your loss happened — if creating space to remember your child, reflecting quietly,
and hearing prayers offered in their memory would be helpful, we would love for you to be with us. If you would like your baby’s name to be read out during the service, there is absolutely no pressure, but you can add their name here, whether or not you feel able to attend:

With a night full of trick-or-treating ahead, why not drop in and take a moment to be refreshed?
In partnership with Church on the Brow and Christians on the Brow, we’re delighted to offer the Light Stop once again!
Enjoy a bouncy castle, fun games, glowing glo-sticks, hot dogs, sweets, and hot drinks – there’s something for everyone to make this a night to remember. Best of all, it’s completely free!

Join us as we come together to remember those we have loved and lost, no matter how long ago. Through music, prayers, and quiet reflection, we will create a space to honour their memory by lighting candles for each loved one who has passed.
If you would like a name to be read aloud and a candle lit in their memory, please let us know here:

Soup’s On – Come and Share a Bowl with Us!

Another poignant year, given everything happening in the world, when we are invited to pause to remember those who have lost their lives in the service of their country.

Share the Joy This Christmas

We’re collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children and young people aged 0–18. You’re warmly invited to bring a gift along to our all-age, joyful service — or drop one off beforehand.
