St Nicholas Church, Leicester

All are welcome at St Nicholas, Leicester's oldest church. People have been worshipping God in this building since the 800's, and we continue to offer an gentle and welcoming space where people can find God and themselves through prayer and reflection.

We are a member of the Inclusive Church Network, and have been welcoming and affirming LGBTQIA+ people for well over 50 years. Sited in the centre of the multicultural city of Leicester, we are also proud to be part of the Diocesan Intercultural Worshipping Communities project.

Here we work together and learn from each other, so that as a community we may better reflect and celebrate the wondrous diversity of God's creation. Come and be who God created you to be, without fear of judgement or exclusion.

What's on

Sunday Eucharist

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
St Nicholas Church, Leicester
St Nicholas Church, St Nicholas Circle, Leicester, LE1 4LB, United Kingdom

The Eucharist has been celebrated here for over 1100 years, come and join us as we continue that legacy of prayer.

At St Nicholas we use the Church of England’s Common Worship liturgy, and follow the Lectionary and the Liturgical Year.

We are an explicitly inclusive church, and encourage you to come as you are, so don’t worry if you’ve never been to church before, or are returning after a long time away, all are welcome here. There are fidget toys available for those who need them, as well as a craft table for children. More information on what to expect can be found at our website: https://stnicholasleicester.com/

Please do stay after the service is over, refreshments will be available, and we’d be delighted to have a chat with you (if you want that).

Safeguarding

St Nicholas Church is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Leicester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor at https://www.leicester.anglican.org/about/safeguarding/. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
