Open Garden

Abbey Gate House
Abbey Gate House, Abbey Mill Lane St Albans, AL3 4HS

The Bishop of St Albans' gardens will be open for people to come and see the summer display. Those who saw the snowdrops earlier in the year will have seen the potential that the garden had for the summer and will be delighted at the change a different season brings. The garden will be open regardless of the weather.
The two acres of garden is an oasis in central St Albans and visitors frequently comment on the fact that they did not know the garden was here or how extensive it is.
Entrance is £5 per person (children free) and dogs on leads are welcome. All money raised is donated to the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust.

St Julian's

Our church was built in the 1950s to serve the growing Cottonmill area. Since then, as the Heart of Cottonmill, it's provided flexible space for Christian worship, meetings (for groups including young and old), events, parties and celebrations.

Our Sunday service is live, but some are also recorded and available to follow online. Details are shown on the Services and Events page. Other services in the Parish are held at St Stephen's Church, with its own entry in A Church Near You.
