Reviews of St. Walburge's Church

C. G.

Lovely building with lots of history. Fab staff guided us up the spire and ensured any questions we had were answered. Bit scary at first as the staircase is very steep but worth it for the views. They only open the spire a few times a year but well worth a visit anyway as the church itself is stunning. Needs repair inside but they're trying their best 🙂

We did the spire climb. An excellent visit to an awe inspiring church in need of restoration. Greatest by friendly staff and everyone welcoming and the guides are excellent in their historic knowledge of the church. A superb idea in which to try and raise funds to keep this grade 1 listed building going. Concrete (~170ish) steps so not for the fainthearted, spiralling with no rope/handrails. Once you get to the top you can see across Preston, seeing Blackpool tower on a good day. Mulled wine, hot chocolate, tea and croissants afterward free of charge.

My family has many connections with this church, but it is not easy to ignore this huge building high above Preston. A staggeringly beautiful interior which is well worth a look if you are in the area.

Wonderful tour by the incredibly knowledgeable parish priest that ended with a trip up a very small spiral staircase to the top of the spire... which is also the name of Father's adorable lab! It's free of charge and a must see if you're interested in Preston's history.

St. Walburge’s is a magnificent church wherein you will find the most beautiful liturgy celebrated and a vibrant parish filled with young families. I have never seen a parish so well served, there is Eucharistic Adoration, confession, traditional Latin Mass every day and catechesis for all ages every 2 weeks. There is a great school and a lovely hall on site too where the faithful can socialise after Mass too. Preston is very blessed to have this church and the holy priests and sisters of the ICKSP who serve it.

It's such an amazing place to be! It's more than a century old Church!

This is such a beautiful church and so breathtaking as soon as you enter the building. Also well worth a visit to climb the spiral staircase upto the spire. Wonderful views of the city.

St Walburges church is one of the most wonderful churches that I have had the honour to visit on many occasions. The interior from the structure to the heavenly sculptures are breathtaking, so beautiful. I would happily recommend this wonderful church two others as it is a perfect place of peace and to pray.

P. C.

Worth a trip out to, but be prepared to climb the spiral staircase to the 309 foot Spire and belfry. Great views overlooking Preston.

Went for a free tour one Saturday afternoon and had a very nice and interesting time. The tour was conducted by the Priest who was a friendly man and very knowledgeable about the Church and the parish's history. Some very good sights inside the building such as the big rose window and the tour ended with a trip up the church spire, one of the tallest in the country, which gave a very good view of Preston. I would recommend it if you are touring through the area or are looking for a little activity to do on a Saturday!

Beautiful church with some amazing statues. Unfortunately I didn't have very long here but I could have stayed hours.

P. O.

Beautiful church which needs to be saved from previous neglect.Grade 1 listed with tallest spire in UK.Well worth a visit.

Historic Catholic church run by priests of the Institute of Christ the King. Very welcoming and friendly parish.

Lovely looking building.

Despite being cold towards the latter part of Holy Mass, St Walburge offers an extremely reverent traditional Latin mass for everyone. For those who have never been, the fact that everyone is friendly and welcoming should reassure you. Once you've actually decided to go to one, I'm sure you'll fall in love with the liturgy and the language. Wear something warm and you'll love it.
