We join with the nation, and indeed, the world, in mourning the loss our beloved Queen Elizabeth II, head of the Church of England, and diginified inspirational monarch. Stockport MBC have chosen St. Peter’s Square as the site of a Memorial Garden for people to lay flowers in remembrance of Her Majesty, so we at St. Peter’s Church will ensure the church is open as often as possible for those visiting to pause and light a candle, say a prayer, or find a moment of peace. There will also be light refreshments available, and the toilets of course.
The opening hours are planned as follows from Mon 12th September:
Mon, Tues, Weds and Fri , Sat 12 noon – 1.30pm and 5pm – 6.30pm
Thursday 15th Sept 5pm – 6.30pm
We will now also open on Sunday at 7.45pm as the nation comes together in a minute of silence at 8pm.
It’s that time of year yet again, and we are again happy to be a part of the Heritage Open Days scheme. This year is focussed on the beautiful embroidered processional banners we have. We will be open on Saturday 10th September from 1.15pm – 3.30pm.
Most of these fascinating banners are on display on the gallery and not accessible up close. Each one has been photographed and studied to produce an informative booklet – available on the day to visitors. Close up photographs and a short description will also be on display.
People are also welcome to just have alook around the Grade II listed church, and refreshments will still be available.
We will also be open in the morning for our monthly free organ concert which you are welcome to come along to as well if you wish. That starts at 10am and you can come and go as you please.
