Church of Saint Peter, Swinton

Saint Peter's Church is a Grade Two * listed building in the heart of Swinton in the City of Salford. It is just over 150 years old and the work of the eminent Victorian architect, G. E. Street. It stands in a very prominent position opposite the Town Hall, near Swinton Station, and on many bus routes. It continues in use for worship each day and has a vibrant and busy programme of services and other activities. On the Friday when the church is open especially for HODs through the day there will also be vestments and other church furnishings and fittings which are usually kept away from view on display.

Depending on the number of volunteers present it may also be possible to take fit adults up the tower, which is usually closed to visitors.

We will also have a children's information and quiz sheet available.

Tea and coffee and cold drinks will be available in church.

Accessibility details

The ramped door is a short way to the east of the principal doors, in sight from them. When the principal doors are open, the ramped door is always unbolted and unlocked and assistance to open will be given if required.

Additional information

Saint Peter's Church is open to visitors and for prayer and worship each day, but on this occasion we are keeping the church open all day long (which we are not usually able to do) to encourage visitors as part of HODs. We hope also to have sufficient volunteers to offer visits up the church tower which is usually not open to visitors, but visits up the tower are at participants' own risk.
