High Street Banstead, SM7 2NN, United Kingdom

On Good Friday at 12.00pm we hold Three Hours' Devotion in the church, in two parts. The first part (12.00-1.30pm) is a service of reflections, readings, hymns and prayers, and the second part (1.45-3.00pm) is the traditional service for Good Friday, including the choir's singing of the Reproaches and an opportunity for Veneration of the Cross. All welcome - come and go when you wish.

All Saints, Banstead

Welcome to All Saints' Church. We are the parish church for Banstead, serving the whole community. We have a strong musical tradition, a range of children's activities, and offer a variety of services, to which all are welcome. Our Vicar is Revd Kate Blake.

If you're new here, we're Church of England, leaning slightly towards the more formal 'Anglo-Catholic' end (our clergy and choir wear robes, for example) but we always try to be welcoming, inclusive and flexible.  At our main (9.30am) Sunday service children can go into the Tower area at the back if they like, to enjoy a session of crafts and simple teaching.

We try to keep the church building open from about 9.30am to about 4.30pm daily, so do come in to look around.

For a downloadable list of our regular services see the 'Notice sheets' page at 'News and notices'.  Our main Sunday services are streamed to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@allsaintschurchbanstead7965.
