St Mary's Church, Whitkirk

Discover tranquillity in the melodious sounds of our choir at St Mary's Church Whitkirk. Join us for a peaceful evening service as the soulful notes of choral evensong fill the air. Listen to Giles, our talented Director of Music, work his magic on the organ, adding a harmony that soothes the heart and the mind. Bring a friend or two and make it an evening service to cherish. Come, let's experience grace and tranquillity together as we worship God in song.

Join us this Wednesday evening for 30 minutes of peace and tranquillity.

If you’re joining us for Crib Service or Midnight Mass this evening, or tomorrow morning for Christmas Day, please remember that the path through the churchyard from Colton Road remains closed due to a fallen tree.

We’re still easy to get to from Selby Road though, and we’d love to welcome you as we celebrate Christ’s birth!

Are you looking for a magical Christmas experience for the whole family? Look no further! St Mary's Church Whitkirk presents a delightful Crib service that promises to make even the most excited children feel right at home. Bring out your festive attire and join us in celebrating the birth of Jesus. Our service is filled with familiar carols that everyone knows, including that classic, Little Donkey. Spread the joy, sing your hearts out, and create unforgettable memories this Christmas at St Mary's Church Whitkirk. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and feel the Christmas spirit!

It was a bit blustery last night! We’re aware of a tree which has fallen and is blocking Colton Road for both pedestrians and vehicles, as well as blocking the path through the churchyard.

For the time being we recommend you avoid the area if you can, and we’ll let you know as things change!

UPDATE: Colton Road is reopen to traffic, but the churchyard is still blocked. It might take us a while to get this sorted as it’s not an emergency, and tree surgeons are very busy with more serious issues following the high winds. Thanks to the Leeds City Council highways and forestry teams for their hard work in getting this safely cleared and the road back in action!
