Brailsford Benefice

Welcome to the webpage for Brailsford Benefice. You are very welcome to attend any of our services. There are five churches in our Benefice located in Brailsford, Shirley, Osmaston, Yeaveley and Edlaston. The five churches work together to ensure that there is one communion service in the Benefice each Sunday. Most months there are a variety of styles of worship.

Children are welcome at all our services, but those marked as All Age Worship on the rota are specifically intended to be child friendly. Brailsford church has a glass screened, sound proofed area where young children can play.

We hope to have a new vicar appointed in the near future.
