We'd love you to come along to our events - it's a great way to meet friends old and new and become involved with our lovely Church community!
Now that the restoration is complete, the Church can offer a space that is perfect for concerts and many other projects. We have reordered the area towards the front of the Church which is now covered with a wide platform, and we are looking to encourage the Church's wider use to bring new life to the building and help to keep it open for the future. We have available a unique building, electric piano, microphones, stage lights and an organ. If you are interested in hiring the St Oswald's Church for your event, please contact the Churchwarden, John Watkin.
As part of the funding agreement with the Heritage Lottery Fund for the restoration, the Church will be open to the public for 40 days a year for the next 10 years. Would you be interested in being in St Oswald's Church on some of those days to chat with people and try to answer their questions? Training and notes would be given and we will all learn as we go along! Please contact the Churchwarden, John Watkin, if you think you would be able to help.

“This will be our first gig in Warrington and it should be a really special night at St Oswald’s Church. What an incredible venue to play music in.
