St Martins
Old Hall Gardens Stoney Middleton Hope Valley, S32 4TZ, United Kingdom

We are starting a new informal event for younger children, their families and friends based outdoors in the churchyard of St Martin's Church. Our first gathering will be on Easter Monday at 11.00am. We hope to discover more of God through nature, using our senses to explore creation. Through exploring, making, growing activities, singing and reflecting we hope to learn together and make new friends. We will finish with refreshments and our traditional Easter Egg Hunt. Come along and see whats happening and get involved.

St Martins

St Martins is situated in The Nook in the centre of the village of Stoney Middleton. It has an unusual octagonal-shaped nave built in 1759 onto the original 15th century tower and is open for visitors everyday. We are a small friendly congregation that meets at 9am on Sunday mornings for communion and would love to welcome you to join us and stay for coffee. We have close links with the village. From the beginning of May 2025 our service times will be changing to 10.30am. Please see calendar for dates and service details.

To enquire about Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals or use of the building, please contact our Church Warden Michael Wright on 07752 155308
