Young families are invited to St Faith's to hear the story of a tired shoemaker and the magical help he receives. Bringing the characters to life with puppets, this show by Rachel Goodall will also give the audience the opportunity to meet the characters and make their own small puppet after the show.

This show is FREE but tickets are limited; please contact [email protected] to book your spot!

If you have any questions about parish life or life events such as weddings or christenings, you can come along and 'just ask' and have a conversation with one of the ministry team.

Said Mass: A Communion Service at St Mary's using the words from the Book of Common Prayer. Please note that the wearing of Face Coverings in Church is now ‘optional’. There are seats set apart in the Church for those who wish to keep space between them and others. Please continue to respect one another and be sensitive to others needs.

Join our church communities at 10am on Sundays for a sung mass at St Mary's or a mass with hymns at St Faith's. Whether you're a regular churchgoer, looking to explore your faith, or interested in learning more about Christianity, these services are accessible and open to everyone.

You are invited to join us as we come together over a BBQ lunch to catch up after a busy summer and prepare for another (academic) year. We will also be using this opportunity to celebrate Revd Sue as she transitions from being a Self Supported Minister to a member of our Retired Clergy team.

To book tickets, please speak to someone at the church or contact [email protected]. Tickets cost £4 for adults and £2 for children.

Following the lunch, we will also hold our last tower opening of the year. Please see our website for more details: https://www.portseaparish.co.uk/event/climb-the-church-tower/

For the last time this year, we are opening up our historic church tower to the general public! As well as providing you with a new perspective of our Victorian church and its belfry, this is also an exciting opportunity to take in a unique view of Portsmouth from 167 feet in the air. Climb the tower to look out from the only viewing point which gives you a 360-degree-view of the whole city.

Tours of the tower are completely FREE. The last climb of the day will be at 3.30pm. Terms and conditions apply to climbing the tower: https://www.portseaparish.co.uk/event/climb-the-church-tower/
