St Mary's, Lydney

Welcome to St Mary's Lydney. We're a friendly and fairly traditional church and we'd love to see you one day. Our church is open every day between 9am and 5pm, so do feel free to pop in and have a look around.

We have services every Sunday morning, and would love to welcome you for a baptism or wedding as well. On the last Friday of every month we have a coffee morning which runs from 10am.

Our 8.30am Sunday service is traditional and quiet, a perfect escape from the noise and bustle of the week, and a good place for contemplation and reflection.

Our 10am Sunday service is sometimes more traditional and sometimes more informal, with hymns and worship songs. On the last Sunday of every month we have a really fun and informal service called Thrive, which is suited for everyone of all ages and mobility.

All are welcome here, without exception.
