This service, sometimes also called Mass or Holy Communion, is the staple bedrock of the church. It is deeply evocative, and draws all present into the sublime mystery of the Lord's Supper. We explore scripture, pray and are caught up in the power of the ritual together, as one body. As we gather around God's Table and hear Christ's words to 'Do this is remembrance of me', we are drawn into a mystery of timeless truth and united with each other in a deeply spiritual way. As we kneel before the Holy Altar we do so with others of all ages, social situations, races, sexualities and nationalities. And we realise that we are all equal before the eyes of our Creator God. This is community as it was designed to be. All are welcome at this service, old and young.

Coffee, cake and a chat, everyone welcome

Bring the whole family for a joyful carol service—sing, listen, and share in the wonder of Christmas

As Christmas Eve draws to a close and the world grows still, we gather to welcome the birth of Christ. Midnight Mass is one of the most beautiful and sacred moments of the year—a time to pause, reflect, and rejoice.

Come and celebrate the joy of Christmas with us at our Christmas Day Eucharist—a beautiful, hope-filled service at the heart of the season.

As the world wakes to the wonder of Christ’s birth, we gather around God’s table to give thanks, sing carols, and share in Holy Communion. This is a time to pause, rejoice, and remember the true meaning of Christmas: love born into the world, light shining in the darkness, and peace offered to all.

Whether you’re a regular worshipper or visiting for the holidays, you’ll find a warm welcome and a space to reflect, rejoice, and be renewed.

The very popular and evocative BCP Evensong has returned. It now happens on the 2nd Sunday of every month. It includes a choir and is a lovely way to celebrate and pray in the evening for the week ahead. It uses the beautifully crafted and poetic traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer which reaches the parts other prayer books cannot reach.
