St Margaret's, Hopton-on-Sea

St Margaret's is a Victorian church building in Hopton-on-Sea, a coastal village south of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. It is home to a congregation which serves the local community in Hopton by sharing the love of God in the person and work of Jesus by the power of his Holy Spirit. We are part of the Diocese of Norwich in the Church of England.

Services are held at St Margaret's on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of the month at 11am. When there is a 5th Sunday in the month we gather together for worship at a Benefice service at one of the churches in our group of parishes.

Other activities take place during the week, including a drop-in each Monday from 10am to 12 noon, and Little Footprints Play & Stay for pre-school aged children each Thursday morning during term time.

We look forward to welcoming you!
