Telephone All Saints Parish Office on 01494 527526 to organise a date for your visit.
It’s best to book about a month in advance as the church is used during the week for funerals and other services. However, we can sometimes fit people in at shorter notice.
The grassy churchyard is often used by those working in the town centre for picnics. If you are travelling some distance we may be able to arrange use of the church hall for lunch though there may be a small charge for this facility.
Our visits are completely free but we always appreciate any donations to the church.
There are currently no toilets on site but All Saints’ church hall can be made available to school visits or alternatively the public conveniences are very close.
We have a limited range of postcards of the church which can be useful for children doing project work. These retail at approximately thirty pence.
We have a limited amount of car-parking space for disabled access but we are unable to offer Coach parking. If you plan on travelling by coach, please contact the Parish Office for details of suitable drop-off places.
Enter the church by the main South doors which face onto the high street. You will be met as you enter the church.
If you are wanting to use the worksheets we provide it is advisable to bring a clipboard and pen/pencil for each child. Photography is permitted in the church so you may wish to bring a camera.
Teachers should stay with their group. They will not necessarily be expected to give any input to these sessions, although it is good if supervising adults can offer some help with the worksheet work especially with younger children. During the visit, teachers will, of course, be responsible for the control and supervision of their group.
If you decide not to have a formal visit but prefer to work with your children yourself, please still make a formal booking. By negotiating a date and booking it through us you are ensured that the building will be free of major events.
