St Mary's is open for private prayer everyday from 9.30 am to 5.30pm, except when there is a service or event in the Church.

Evensong is a service that’s traditionally held - as the name suggests - in the evening, marking the passing of another day in faith. It’s fairly short, usually around 40 minutes, and features choral music, readings and prayers.

This is a shorter (said) version of a Eucharist service, without the hymns or a sermon.

St Mary's has an enthusiastic robed choir who lead the congregation in worship, accompanied by the organ.

They also perform anthems for special services, and are particularly busy over Easter and Christmas, with both Advent and Christmas carol services.

Choir practice is in St Mary's Church on Wednesdays at 7:00pm. Newcomers, ideally with a basic ability to read music, are always welcome.
