Look out for cafe church, a great opportunity to meet us and enjoy fantastic coffee and muffins! Search for “Taste and See” for more details or check out the calendar.

The Church building is open each day from 9am to 6pm, call in and explore if you are visiting the area or calling at a local event. Our church is in the Diocese of Derby and part of the Church of England, working closely with other churches in the area.
