Celebrating the Big Help Out and Eurovision!

St Peter’s Church and Church Hall will be open to visitors to celebrate two very special events in May!

On Monday May 8, the Church will be open from 10am to 3pm and the Church Hall will be open from 10.30am to 2.30pm as part of the Coronation Big Help Out! The King has asked people to consider volunteering for their local communities on May 8, and our small team of Heritage volunteers, led by Tom Canty and Donna Jackson, are delighted to do so!

This is a great chance to experience the beauty and peace of St Peter’s, and see the stained glass windows designed by William Morris and Charles Kempe.

Beatles/music fans will also be able to explore the Smith/Lennon family connections in the Church and the Churchyard and pay respects to our Eleanor Rigby and Liverpool legend, Bob Paisley.

You can also visit the Church Hall and stand on the spot where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met on July 6, 1957, and the Beatles began!

The Hall will also be open on Saturday May 13, from 10am to 2pm, when we will be delighted to welcome musc lovers from around the world who are in Liverpool to celebrate Eurovision!

Entry on both days is free and everyone is welcome!

OPEN CHURCH

St Peter’s Church will be open Saturdays and Sundays 10 am – 4 pm** throughout July, August and September!

Please come and have a look round our beautiful building and take time to enjoy the peace and quiet.

For Beatles fans, this is an opportunity to visit the Church that was an important part of John’s childhood. Mimi attended regularly, and John sang in the choir and once tried his hand at bell-ringing. Make sure to ask the volunteers to point out the spot where John sat in the choir stalls, or the area of the Church where Mimi liked to sit for services.

Two of John’s uncles are also remembered in the Church – his uncle Robert is listed on the war memorial, and uncle George is buried in St Peter’s graveyard.

** Please note that access to some areas of the Church may vary during Church Sunday services and for special services such as weddings and funerals, and that all times are subject to change at short notice.
