A short weekly compline service by candle light

Mass is offered at St Mary the Virgin every Wednesday, in the Lady Chapel. Our midweek Masses are peaceful and simple services to which every one is welcome.

The parish's main act of worship, our Parish Mass begins at 10.15am. At this service, you will encounter Sunday readings, homily, prayers, hymns, excellent music, and a lively and friendly congregation. With a community ranging in age from 1 to (nearly) 100 and from all kinds of backgrounds, everyone is welcome to join us. There is also Children's Church for the little ones with crafts and stories; the kids come and join the rest of the congregation for Communion. We gather afterwards in the Church Hall for coffee.

The Abbey is open to visitors from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The archive of historical information and photographs over the years will be available to view. Refreshments will be available all day, and the Abbey craft stall will be open. There will be plenty of Abbey Volunteers on hand to answer your questions.
