Delightful displays and floral fragrances in abundance, tempting your taste budswith local beer or enjoying sublime music in wonderful surroundings. Churches, chapels and meeting houses are built for festivals!
Why not find a festival to visit this year.
We'd love to include all festivals taking place in churches around the UK this year. If you know of one that we have not included please let us know by email or message us on social media.
We are approaching the time of year when more churches, chapels and meeting houses are open than any other. There are five major open day events in September, one of which is the regional churches trust's Ride + Stride. Click on each box for more information.
