Queen Elizabeth II - head and shoulders portrait of Her Majesty smiling dressed in yellow in the sunshine

We join with the nation, and indeed, the world, in mourning the loss our beloved Queen Elizabeth II, head of the Church of England, and diginified inspirational monarch. Stockport MBC have chosen St. Peter’s Square as the site of a Memorial Garden for people to lay flowers in remembrance of Her Majesty, so we at St. Peter’s Church will ensure the church is open as often as possible for those visiting to pause and light a candle, say a prayer, or find a moment of peace. There will also be light refreshments available, and the toilets of course.

The opening hours are planned as follows from Mon 12th September:

Mon, Tues, Weds and Fri , Sat 12 noon – 1.30pm and 5pm – 6.30pm

Thursday 15th Sept 5pm – 6.30pm

We will now also open on Sunday at 7.45pm as the nation comes together in a minute of silence at 8pm.

Open for Private Prayer

During this latest lockdown we are still open for private prayer on Tuesdays and Fridays from 12pm to 1.30pm. Light a candle and take some peaceful time out.

The toilets are also open.
