Longest Night Service

St Margaret's Plain Ipswich, IP4 2BE, United Kingdom
The contrast between dark and light is vivid this time of year. On winter solstice we know that the light begins to change and though it may feel far off, the light is coming and bringing us hope and the promise of the dawn of a new day.

Our Longest Night Service is a space for all who find Christmas difficult whatever the reason or circumstance.

All welcome.

St Margaret's, Ipswich

We are a warm and welcoming community, enjoying a variety of services and patterns of worship as we seek to draw closer to God and in so doing love and serve our neighbours as ourselves. We value our diversity and embrace our church music which combines both traditional and more contemporary forms of worship.

Our beautiful Grade 1 listed building, parts of which date from the 12th Century, stands at the edge of the town centre of Suffolk’s county town, Ipswich and next to the town’s impressive Christchurch Park. We are also fortunate to have a linked primary school and Church Centre located just across the road from the church.
