St. Ives Parish Church


As well as being able to join us at one of our services, we try to keep the church open as much as possible and you will normally find the church open between 10 am and 4 pm every day. This is part of our service to the community, allowing locals and tourists to find a place of peace and spiritual refreshment in the middle of bustling St Ives.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
