Talks and Tours

Tours and talks can be arranged from 30 to 90 minutes. We normally suggest a minimum of 15 visitors to make it cost effective.

Tea, coffee are provided on arrival and Sandwiches and drinks can also be arranged for groups who wish to combine a tour with a meal in one of the wonderful spaces in the church.

A range of Tours and talks are available led by the Rector, members of the church team or a specialist approved guide depending on subject. The tours and talks can be about the history of the church from 1100, the Royal Fusiliers relationship, the dedication as the National Musicians’ Church, the Benefice to name a few, with guidance on memorials, persons of interest, monument and artefacts of particular note. Questions are encouraged and photographs (for personal not professional use) are allowed. External expert speakers can also be considered. 

Although we aim to make our church and external spaces as accessible as possible, the tower tour for example involves a circular stone staircase of almost 60 steps and will unfortunately not be suitable for those in wheelchairs or with mobility issues or be suitable for under 18s. We would be happy to discuss appropriate talks and tours to suit your needs and group profile.  

We warmly welcome external guides with their groups visiting the church and offer special group rates for external guides groups of 10 or more visitors. We recommend you pre-book your group visit in advance with our team to avoid disappointment. 

Prices for tours and talks vary, depending on their nature and length, and start at £20 per head.
