We’re members of Inclusive Church!

Where to find us

We meet every Sunday evening at City United Reformed Church (URC) in town centre, just off Queen Street. We are a 5 minute walk from Queen Street station and there is limited parking onsite and pay-to-park spaces on the street.

If you are coming from Queen Street Train Station, turn right when you come out of the station and walk towards the junction. Then turn left onto the pedestrianised Queen Street and walk down until you reach KFC on your right. Turn right down Windsor Place after KFC and walk past the Central Bar on your right and continue until you see the church building. The entrance is on Windsor Place, just before Daffodil Café.

The two glass door should be open, but if you’re early or late they may be locked – just ring the bell on the right of the doors and someone will come and let you in!

The church has a gated car park, but there are also council parking spaces outside the front of the building which are free after 5pm.
