CAR PARKING
We’re incredibly grateful to have been given extra parking access nearby — a real blessing for our church family. In addition to our own car park, you may now also park at:
• St Peter & St John Catholic Church, Caesar’s Camp Road
• The Beacon Church, Berkshire Road
This generous support helps us welcome more people safely and comfortably.
To help us care for one another well, especially on Wednesdays and Sundays, we kindly ask those who can walk to church or park at one of our partner churches, so that parking closer to St Martin’s can be prioritised for anyone who finds walking difficult.
Thank you so much for your love, patience and support as together we make space for everyone.
