Join us on Sunday for a prayer service with hymns.

Sunday services take place in The Round. Entrance is via the Great West Door (Sheep Street) or the South Porch (Church Lane).

While we love our building we recognize that the church community is more than a building and our services, events, and groups all aim to bring people together.

As a registered Inclusive Church we welcome all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, mental or physical abilities, or financial or social status. We fully support the ministry of women as deacons, priests, and bishops.

Services are usually followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in the adjacent Community Room.

We also know that attending a church for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking and daunting too. For this reason we have a community manager whose job it is to answer any of your questions, meet you before service, escort you into the building, introduce you to others and walk you through how we worship here. We want you to feel cared for here and not allow nerves or worries to get in the way of your worship. Just e-mail sarah@holy sepulchre.co.uk and we can start chatting.

Similarly, if you want to attend but getting here is a challenge, e-mail as we might be able to help..

Step into the raw, unfiltered world of Jim Cartwright’s seminal play ‘Road’ – a powerful, poignant, and darkly humorous play that captures the essence of life in a working-class Northern town during the 1980s.

It takes you on a nocturnal journey along the cobbled street of an unnamed northern road in Thatcher’s Britain. ‘Road’ is a masterclass in storytelling, offering a gritty yet heartfelt portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people. It’s a play that resonates with anyone who has ever faced hardship and found hope in the most unexpected places.

Despite being set in the 1980s, the themes of ‘Road’ – resilience, community, and the search for meaning – are timeless and universal. This play speaks to the heart of human experience, making it as relevant today as it was when it was first written.

Join us for an evening of compelling theatre, vivid characters and an aural trip down memory lane that will leave you moved and inspired.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary play.

Book your tickets now and be part of the journey!

Our Medieval Round Church has been welcoming visitors since 1100 AD and in 2024 she is set to fling open her doors again.

On Saturdays afternoons from 2pm-4pm from June to September, visitors can learn all about this fascinating church and the historic treasures she contains. (Please note there is no Open Day on 28th June)

If only these walls could talk, I wonder what they would say? For the moment we will let our historians do the talking.

The Holy Sepulchre is the oldest building in Northampton, surviving the great fire, one of only four medieval round churches in the U.K., and has the longest aisle in Northampton.

Historic battles have taken place here, famous people have been married here and royalty has visited.

The stained glass is beautiful, the Soldier’s Chapel delightful and the stories even more intriguing.

Join our volunteers and historians every Saturday from June to September to find out more.

DATES:

Every Saturday from June 6th until 6th September. 2pm-4pm. Please note there is no Open Day on 28th June.

WHERE:

Holy Sepulchre Church Hall, Church Lane, Northampton NN1 3NL.

E-mail [email protected] for more information.

Please note while the church will be open at these times we can’t always guarantee there will be a historian or tour guide on site.
