Facilities and features
Accessibility
There are no steps between the car park and the church door. We also have a ramp to facilitate access to the church. If you would like a car parking space reserving for a service, please email [email protected]
We have a ramp that we can quickly put in at the entrance to the church if needed.
Dogs are welcome in our church.
We have a new toilet which is now easily accessible for wheelchairs
There are a few parking spaces on the tarmac area in front of the church.
We have some new hymn books, some of which are in large print format.
Our Building
St Peter's Church is Grade II* listed. This means that it is a building of particular historic importance. Parts of the building date back to Norman times, although most of what you see is from the Victorian period.
We have many stained glass windows. The most arresting, perhaps, is the war memorial window installed after World War I. It depicts a local man and his friend as Saints George and Michael and is a touching tribute.
We have a new toilet which is available for all.
Music and Worship
New bells were installed in the church in the 1950s and there is a bell ringing team, but unfortunately do not ring every Sunday. They can ring for special occasions though. We also have an 'Ellacombe' system that one person can use.
The "Driffield Cadenza Singers" perform a series of concerts at St. Peter's in Spring and December , to raise money for Church funds.
There are also events at St. Perer's ( sometimes February or November) where anyone can show off their talents e.g. "Februray Frolics"
Our Victorian organ is sadly out of commission and will cost over £80,000 to repair. Currently we use a digital organ and this is a real asset to the more traditional choir services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays, and 3rd Sunday of the month for Choral Evensong
The choir sings in the morning service every second and fourth Sunday in the month, and Choral Evensong on the 3rd Sunday. Regular practices are on Fridays at 18.00
We have a worship band called "The Revelation" that play on the 1st and 3rd Sunday morning services. As well as singers, this features a trumpeter, violinist and guitar players.
Groups, Courses and Activities
Help for Visitors
Details of how to connect to the Church Wi-Fi can be found inside the entrance to the Church.
There is an information sheet and visitors are also welcome to borrow or buy one of the copies of the history of the church. There is also a display of items from the more recent history of the church on the windowsill to the left of the main entrance.
The church is open every day from 09.00. It closes at 18.00 in the Winter and 19.00 in the Summer.
Our church is open every day from 09.00 until 6.00 p.m. (usually later in the Summer) for private prayer. We have some prayer cards that visitors can use and take away and a prayer request box if you would like us to pray for you or someone who know.
