3 Shires Festival 2026 - Taizé Service of Unity

for 1 hour
St Hilda's, Warley Woods
Abbey Road Smethwick, B67 5NQ, United Kingdom

In the middle of our busy festival, why not pause and discover something truly different?

Taizé worship is a beautiful and accessible form of prayer that welcomes everyone, whatever your faith background or none. Through gently repetitive chants, candlelight, and extended moments of stillness, you are invited simply to breathe, rest, and be.

As part of the Three Shires Festival's spirit of community and togetherness, this special Service of Unity offers a rare opportunity to find peace, connection, and wonder.

All are warmly welcome.
