Missed visiting our chapel during the Garden Walkabout Weekend? We’re opening again for a special short tour with our Pastor, John Hebblethwaite, on Saturday 20th June at 10:30am.

Come and explore our 1794 chapel, including the 1865 Baptism Pool, view extracts from our 1794 minute book, and watch our 6-minute film, Our Story – 1794–2026.

You’ll also have the chance to see plans for the new building and leave a message on our graffiti wall or in our memory book.

Please note: the chapel will only be open for a short time, so please arrive promptly for 10:30am.

✨ A New Chapter Begins ✨

Before redevelopment starts, we’d love to invite our community to visit the old chapel, hear about the plans, share memories, and say goodbye to a building that has served Sutton Bonington for over 230 years.

Whether you’ve been part of church life, connected in years gone by, or simply want to visit and reflect, you are warmly welcome.
