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).

EVENTS ALREADY ENJOYED . . .
ABSEIL AT ST STEPHEN'S
This fabulous summer 2024 event was a triumph! Over 80 people shimmied down St Stephen's iconic tower, raising a fantastic £13,000 which was divided between St Stephen's Church and Genesis Trust. An enormous audience of local residents and passers-by gathered to watch the intrepid abseilers. Congratulations and thank you to participants and helpers alike.
HARVEST FLOWER FESTIVAL 
A cornucopia of floral delights welcomed visitors to the Autumn 2023 event. St Stephen's groups, local clubs, schools and businesses united in a colourful and welcoming community event which was hugely enjoyed by all.
