St Mary Magdalene

Welcome to St Mary Magdalene. Our beautiful church and its grounds are in the small country village of Whipsnade and stand back from the Green often unnoticed by visitors to the famous Zoo. It is a landmark in the village and the surrounding countryside and stands some 700 feet above sea level. There has been a church here since Anglo Saxon times; the present building was started in the 16th century.

We hold a service every Sunday at 9am and welcome visitors along with our regular congregation.

First Sunday: Holy Communion (Traditional)

Second Sunday: Holy Communion (Modern) with Sunday School

Third Sunday: Family Service

Fourth Sunday: Holy Communion (Traditional)

We always serve coffee after the service and there is a friendly social atmosphere.
