Our special services, especially our Christmas and Easter services, often fill the Nave to maximum occupancy. Overflow seating will be available in the Parish Hall and the Garth, and the service will be streamed to these locations.
This seating provides a full experience of these beautiful services. However, if being in the Church is important to you, please arrive early to ensure you have a space.
