Tours & events

Join us for a season of events in some of the UK’s most stunning historic churches, and help protect these sacred spaces for generations to come. 

Hosted by the National Churches Trust, our exclusive programme of tours, talks, and special gatherings offers you the chance to experience the beauty, history, and community spirit of these remarkable places up close. You’ll also find links to a wide range of events happening in churches across the UK, from local festivals and concerts to open days and craft fairs.

By attending, you are directly contributing to the care and preservation of the UK’s churches, chapels, and meeting houses, ensuring they remain open, welcoming, and vibrant for all. Every event ticket, every conversation, every moment shared is a step toward safeguarding these treasures of our national heritage.

We’d be honoured to welcome you.
