Welcome to St Mary Magdalene Parish Church; a large, friendly and historic church in the centre of Newark. St Mary's has been welcoming people through its doors for over 800 years, and continues to be a central focus of the local community.
Visit us during our opening hours to pray, reflect, seek God's guidance, or simply to take in the history and heritage of our church.
We hold a range of services every week, from traditional to contemporary, and welcome everyone to come and worship with us. We have a thriving choir community supported by the Magnus Song School, and hold a weekly Sung Eucharist, and a Choral Evensong.
We also hold a large number of events throughout the year, welcoming people from our local community, and from further afield.
