St Wilfrid Harrogate Welcomes the World for the UCI World Championships

Between the 21st -28th September 2019 Harrogate hosts the UCI Road World Championships, and St Wilfrid’s is in the heart of the final circuit. During this period the church will be open every day as usual, with some alterations to the service schedule. Click here for more information.

The parish church of St Wilfrid Harrogate is one of the finest Grade 1 listed buildings in the country (and the only Grade 1 listed building in the town of Harrogate). St Wilfrid Harrogate is also one of the 40 largest parish churches in England and the 2^nd largest in the Diocese of Leeds.

But more importantly than being ‘just’ custodians of a glorious building, we are a working parish church, with over one thousand services and events each year offered in a distinctive Anglo-Catholic style within the Church of England.

A wide range of ages and people come here to pray, to worship, to attend a concert or event, or just to visit. This is more than just an outstanding building. It is a vibrant, living sign of God’s presence with us and a rich community of people seeking an authentic Christian path through the ups and downs of daily life.

This website provides details of our regular pattern of services as well as information to help those preparing for christenings, weddings and funerals. You can also discover how our buildings serve the community and are available for hire. You can contact us, and we’ll do our best to respond to your enquiries.

We are also a parish which takes Safeguarding seriously. You can read more about this at: http://www.stwilfrid.org/support/safeguarding/ or you can download our Safeguarding Poster, with contact details. The poster is also available opposite as an image. We are committed to following the Church of England’s best practice. So for example, all our volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults undertake the required checks and training. And if your child attends Young Wilf’s – our Sunday school – then we’ll also ask you to complete a registration form so we have the best information at hand to help care for your child.

We invite you to visit us, a warm welcome awaits.
