Wesley Chapel Harrogate

Wesley Chapel Harrogate Wesley Chapel celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2012. Before 1862 the chapel had been at the corner of Beulah Street and Oxford Street.

Wesley Chapel is the worshipping congregation of Wesley Centre, part of the Nidd Valley Methodist Circuit and belonging to the Methodist Church, Wesley Chapel has been a landmark in Harrogate since 1862. It was one of only two chapels in the Harrogate circuit which was constituted in 1858. Wesley Chapel is a Grade II listed building in the traditional 'meeting house' style. It was extensively refu

rbished for our Centenary in 1962 and again in 1994 when the foyer at the entrance to the church was created and major alterations made to the facilities in the Lower Hall beneath the church, including a lift. Methodism in Harrogate has been traced back almost as far as John Wesley's day, and since its opening in 1862 Wesley Chapel has been a dominant landmark in Harrogate and has played a major role in town centre life. The work of its people carries on from a long tradition of devotion to the town. You are welcome into our chapel whenever it is open, whether you join us for worship, to pray, enjoy the peace or just to view our lovely building.

On 9th and 10th September we opened our doors for the National Heritage Open Days, and enjoyed a highly successful weekend. On the Saturday we were open from 11 until 4 and welcomed many visitors. We served refreshments, and visitors wandered round our lovely building and enjoyed musical interludes as well as a superb exhibition of our 161 year history. The theme of the Heritage Open Days this year was Creativity Unwrapped. We certainly warmed to the theme.

The second of our open days was also our Harvest Festival, and we offered a warm welcome to any visitors who wished to join us. Sue Langley led the service and talked about the harvest of faithfulness, peace, patience, gentleness, self-control, love and goodness.

In the afternoon we were joined by Dayspring, the Circuit Steel Band. The weather forecast was for wind and rain, so the steel drums were set up inside. Then the sun came out, so with plenty of willing helpers around, the steel drums were carried back outside, where we attracted lots of attention from passers by, some of them dancing in the street as they passed by. And the rain stayed away until much later in the evening.
