Home Page of the monthly Guide to Events in churches in the City of London

The "City Events" broadsheet is published by the Friends of the City Churches in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of the City of London. It depends on the information supplied each month by the individual churches. Copies can be found in most City churches, libraries and the City Information Office. Enquiries about particular events should be addressed to the venue concerned.

To learn more about the Friends and the churches they cover, including contact details and maps, please visit the Friends website, which can be reached from here:

The weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th September sees this year's London Open House weekend. Buildings of architectural interest throughout London will be open to visitors. The FCC is working closely with the organisers this year to ensure that as many of the City churches as possible will be open. A full list is here and very brief notes about the churches expected to be open will be found here.
At St Katherine Cree the mid-week Eucharist now takes place at 1305 on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays as stated in the current issue of "City Events".

The majority of City churches are active during the working week rather than at weekends. However, some offer Saturday or Sunday services and details of these can be found by clicking on this button.



OTHER EVENTS

Some of the churches just outside the City boundary have events which are designed to appeal to those who work within the City as well as those within the immediate the locality. Some details of these may be found on the page linked from the button below. It is emphasised, however, that contact should be made with the church concerned for full details of any event mentioned.
