St Peter's Berkhamsted
St Peter's is Berkhamsted's parish church. We've been a centre of Christian worship here for over 800 years, and we today we continue our tradition of welcome for all. Together, we celebrate our faith that, whatever darkness there may be in the world or in our own lives, in God’s love we find a light that always shines through. We welcome old friends and newcomers, strangers and pilgrims.
The church is open throughout the day - you are welcome here to pray, to sit and contemplate or to explore the historic building.
Worship
Our main Sunday service is the 9:30am Sung Eucharist. There are also services through the week, and our choir sings a monthly service of Choral Evensong.
It doesn't matter if you don't usually go to church - whether you are a regular worshipper, or exploring faith, you are welcome here – the doors are open for you.
Events
St Peter's also hosts regular concerts and public events. At the town's annual Festival of Light, the candlelit church welcomes thousands of visitors, and there's a varied programme of music throughout the year, including symphony orchestras, choral concerts, jazz and chamber recitals.

At St Peter’s all people are welcome and have a place, from the very oldest to the very youngest. We welcome families with children, providing a safe space for fun, discovery and learning, including a Sunday School and the Little Fishes parent and toddler group.

We want all young people to participate in our worshipping community.
