Offering a sacred spaceWe will continue to offer a sacred space for prayer and stillness for anyone to access. Our opening times are 14:00 - 16:00, Wednesday - Saturday. We operate in a covid secure way and ask that if you visit us for personal prayer, you adhere to covid precautions as per the signage or instructions from the team. Thank you.
We are unable to confirm anything else until we receive further guidance. We understand that this is frustrating however it is beyond our control and we believe speculation is unhelpful in this situation. As soon as we are able to provide detailed guidance we will do so. Dean Jerry
