As the choir's summer break draws to a close, weekly choral services at St Mary's Wimbledon resume this Sunday at our new service times: Holy Communion at 10am and Choral Evensong at 6pm. All welcome!

Sunday Service Times at St Mary's are changing from the 9th August 2026:

Following extensive consultation and the experimental period in May and June we are changing the times of some of our Sunday services. There will be three services each Sunday:
8am BCP Holy Communion,
10am Holy Communion
6pm Choral Evensong.
There will also be a quarterly healing service in the evening usually on the 5th Sunday of the month. We hope to see you soon!
