The St James' Tour enables website visitors to browse through the various sights that St James' has to offer, the tour takes visitors from in and around St James' grounds to inside the church itself. I hope you find the tour interesting and informative, although this is just a peek at what St James' has to offer, so why not pay us a visit to see St James' Church and the wonderful surroundings of Whitehaven for yourself!
The Church is open for Visitors from 9 am to 4 pm Monday & Wednesday to Saturday, 10.30 am to 4 pm Tuesday, and 12 noon to 5 pm on Sunday, subject to service requirements. Parking is 1 hour on street (discs available in Church), or in town centre car parks. Wheelchair access is via the modern ramp on thesouth side of the church (not the one at the front gate). Access is available to all areas, although the stairlift is not suitable for the totally chair dependent. There is a toilet in the church, although it can't take powered chairs (use the public toilets in the Market Place). Refresments are available at the St. Nicholas Centre (straight down the hill) from 10am to 3pm Monday to Friday and most Saturdays.
There is a hearing loop available. Large print service books, hymn books and pew sheets are available on request, at Service times.
Guided tours & educational visits are available on advance notice to the Rector- see 'Contact Us' Section for details.
