Heritage Open Days 2025

History Display and chance to look around – Architecture students re imagining of the church!

We are open Saturday 13th 1pm – 4pm after our monthly free organ concert . Take a look inside this traditional and atmospheric church, which as an Anglo-Catholic Church of England Place of Worship is home to statues, vestments and processional banners similar to Roman Catholic churches. The original 1769 Whitehurst clock from the clock tower is also located on the ground floor and in full working order.

A history display charts St Peter’s journey from the 18th Century to the 21st, and includes pictures from inside the tower which is inaccessible to the public.
In keeping with the theme of architecture, 2 students from Manchester School of Architecture have used St Peter’s for their thesis and the imaginative results will be on show along with their model of the church.

Saturday is the date of our free Organ Concert too so pop along earlier if you like (1000-1300), and listen to guest organists play our church and theatre organs, or piano.

Hot and cold drinks available, and if you’re lucky there may still be cake left from the concert!

Have your say on the future of St. Peter’s

St. Peter’s is looking forward to an exciting future within the centre of regeneration in Stockport, with hundreds more residents destined to live in the parish for the first time in many years. We’d like to know what you would find useful, interesting, and worth coming to the church for. This is an opportunity for you to give us your suggestions so we can incorporate them into our fututre plans and activities. We previously ran a similar questionnaire five years ago but plans were interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now we can start to move forward again, and need your help to make sure we provide what you want.

Your responses to the survey monkey questionnaire below will help us arrange events but also guide our major plans for the future. Thank you!

The questionnaire is also avaliable in a paper version from the church.
