St Nicholas Church is open every Saturday afternoon from 12:00-16:00. Come and explore Leicester's oldest church!

Every Saturday we gather in the Lady Chapel for a gentle, contemplative, and informal service of Evening Prayer, following the Church of England book of Daily Prayer.

Join us in this ancient place, and be held by prayer, liturgy, and silence.

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).

Beginning as the clock chimes 6pm, this meditative Taizé style evening service involves simple songs and chants, short scripture and poetry readings, candlelight, prayer, and meditative silence.

The church will be open from 5:30pm, and you are encouraged to enter quietly, and use the time before the service for prayer and contemplation.

Beginning at 6:30pm, all are welcome to our Good Friday Service.

Święconka, meaning "The Blessing Of The Easter Baskets," is a Polish tradition that dates back to the 7th century and is still practiced today.

Baskets holding symbolic food items, such as painted eggs, bread, meat, and cake, are blessed at church on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. They are then shared and eaten during Easter Sunday brunch.

This free event will provide you with all the necessary ingredients to make your own a traditional Święconka- so why not join us to make a traditional Easter Basket to take away for Easter.

Short basket blessing services will be held at 13:15, 14:15, and 15:15.

It is traditional to greet Easter Day with a dawn bonfire - we light ours in the north side of the churchyard, around the back of the church.

Why not drop by any time between 6am and 10am and join us to eat breakfast and sing some hymns around the fire?

Join us on Easter Day for a special celebratory Eucharist led by Bishop Christopher.

The church doors will open at 18:00 for an 18:30 start.
