There is always something to look forward to at St Stephen’s. Beyond our services the church is usually open on Saturday mornings (10 am to 12 noon) with a welcoming coffee or tea. Should you wish to make a special visit, we’re very happy to arrange this so please contact us.
There are lots of events to enjoy in both St Stephen’s and our sister church of St Mary’s, Charlcombe. What, when and where can be found in both the Calendar and in The Beneficial (our regular summary of news and events at both churches).
