Facilities and features
Accessibility
There is one toilet available during church services on Sunday. It is accessible for wheelchair users.
These are located in the toilet area next to the church room.
Flat, wheelchair friendly access to the toilet is available with grab rails if needed.
Access into the church is ramped, making it wheelchair accessible. In church, a ramp is available for access to the altar rail for communion. There is flat or ramped access to the church room and the toilet beyond it.
In regular use with microphones in every service, we hope this enables those who experience hearing impediments to access worship, prayer and fellowship in church.
Assistance dogs are welcome in church. Please ask if you need water for them.
The whole church building is accessible to wheelchair users, including access to the alter rail for communion, toilets and entrance and exit from the building. Space can be made for people using a wheelchair within the congregation, at the end of rows of chairs. If you would like to discuss your needs before coming to church, please contact the office on [email protected] or phone 07935 590033.
Our Building
Music and Worship
We occasionally hold concerts within the church building. Please see our events page for current details. If you'd like to use the building for this purpose, please ring the office on 07935 590033 or email [email protected]
We are lucky to have a well-maintained organ that is still in regular use, as well as our piano. Our keyboards player is well versed in both!
The choir, small but beautiful, sings at most services and offers support for weddings, funerals and baptisms if desired.
Groups, Courses and Activities
The church both offers and takes part in community events in Pucklechurch, including our scarecrow trail and the village Revel.
The Tower Playgroup operates within the church building Tuesday-Thursday during term times. We welcome their use of our building and hope the children find a safe and engaging start to their learning journeys.
Help for Visitors
Our church is often open during the week. Please see our facebook page for details.
Other Features
We support the local foodbank at Resound church in Mangotsfield. Please donate food by dropping it into the church porch. It is taken to Mangotsfield once a week on a Friday.
We have a large screen and great audio links enabling you to personalise your wedding or funeral in our church via a laptop. Please contact us in advance if you wish to use this facility. This is a new feature of St Thomas a Becket in Pucklechurch.
