Bedfield is one of the churches of the Four Rivers Benefice, with Brundish, Cratfield, Laxfield, Monk Soham, Wilby and  Worlingworth cum Southolt. We hold short weekly services online on Zoom. For all scheduled services and events, please see our news and notices and one off events pages.

St Nicholas is a medieval church over 900 years old which has undergone extensive restoration work over the last 20 years.

There are usually three Sunday services each month with additional services during Lent and Easter starting with Ash Wednesday. Lammas, Rogation, Harvest, Advent carols by candlelight and our patronal festival, together with a pet service, are just some of the services offered during the year.
