Join us for an outdoor service in our churchyard, followed by live music and entertainment. We will also be hosting an outdoor ‘race’ game (no actual racing required) to help fundraise for the choir’s trip to Rochester.
We will also be opening St Mary’s tower to the public from 2-4pm (the last entry will be at 3.30pm, please see the full terms and conditions below); come along for an awesome birds-eye view of Portsmouth!
The service will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel and our Facebook page.
To follow along, you can find the order of service here.
You can find our notices for the week here.
