Join us over coffee or tea at 10.30am on Tuesdays - except in August and on 23 and 30 December 2025 - for a friendly chat and/or to browse and buy books and crafts in our Centenary Hall. (The Hall is just behind St Wilfrid's Church, next to the big Orchards car park and with our own small car park, free to Centenary Hall and Church users). From the Hall there is a magnificent view over Victoria Park to the South Downs.

Every Wednesday at 12 noon you are very welcome to join us at St Wilfrid's Church, Church Road, for our Said Eucharist service. Refreshments are served afterwards in the church.

Please ask before the service begins if you would like a gluten-free Communion wafer.

We warmly welcome visitors from all our local churches to our ecumenical candle-lit Taize service of prayers, silences and the singing of simple Taize Community chants. This half-hour worship is held every Third Wednesday of the month at 8pm in St Wilfrid's Church.

Families are especially welcome to join us at St Wilfrid's Church at 11am on the Third Sunday of the month for our Eucharist service designed for people of all ages.

If you would like a gluten-free Communion wafer, please ask before the service begins.

We have a small private car park for Church and Hall users behind the Church, next to our Centenary Hall off St Wilfrid's Way (opposite the big Orchards car park).

Following the candlelit models of first Truro Cathedral and then King's College Cambridge, with Nine Lessons from Genesis to the Gospels and Nine Carols in special arrangements sung by our church choir, we shall all enjoy singing traditional Christmas hymns and carols in our town's oldest church.

Be sure to arrive early for this very popular event.

This very popular and joyful Christmas service always attracts many young families - so do arrive early for the 4pm start.

We remember together the wonder of God with us, arriving in the little town of Bethlehem as a baby boy, the Light of the World. That was just over 2,000 years ago; baby Jesus' crib was an animals' feeding trough, and poor shepherds were the first visitors to young Mary and Joseph the carpenter as they celebrated the birth of the Messiah in circumstances not expected by the religious authorities.

We have very limited parking in the Centenary Hall just behind the church, accessed on foot through the churchyard, but there is also the main Orchards car park close by - both off St Wilfrid's Way.

This traditional late-night service offers the first opportunity in our parish to receive the gift of Holy Communion on Christmas morning, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Saviour, at whose Last Supper he instituted the churches' tradition of breaking bread and sharing wine in remembrance of his saving death on a cross and his glorious Resurrection and Ascension.

The Christmas Gospel from the first chapter of John's Gospel is read, in which we are told that Jesus was the same Word, now made flesh, through whom all creation came into being. We also sing Christmas hymns in praise of the Incarnation.

If you wish to receive a gluten-free Holy Communion wafer, please let us know before the service begins.

Supported by our church choir, we sing favourite Christmas hymns and carols and hear the Christmas story from the Bible as we celebrate the wonderful Incarnation, when the Light of the World was born in humble circumstances, first witnessed by poor shepherds as the Saviour of All.

(Please note: at our sister Church of the Presentation in New England Road there is also a very similar service this morning which also starts at 10am.)

If you would like to receive a gluten-free Communion wafer, please let us know before the service begins at 10am.

There will be ample parking in our small car park at the Centenary Hall, just behind the church, and in the much larger Orchards car park on the opposite side of St Wilfrid's Way
