St Peter

Welcome to St Peter’s Church. We share a regular pattern of monthly services with our other benefice churches; St Edmund's, Castleton and St Barnabas, Bradwell. Details can be found on the Services and Events page.

St Peter's is open each Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, and as often as possible throughout the week, though times cannot be guaranteed. Members of St Peter's work closely with Hope Historical Society, Hope Bellringers, Hope Wildlife Group and others, to assist High Peak Borough Council with the care and maintenance of Hope Churchyard. Further details of the history of St Peter's can be found on the Hope Historical Society website.

St Peter's is also on the Hope Pilgrimage route. More information can be found on their website here.  If St Peter's is closed when you visit, the stamp and the stickers are also available from Hope Methodist Church on Edale Road.

Our three benefice churches are all small and fairly traditional, but there is still lots going on.
