Visiting Chesterfield Parish Church
Visiting
St Mary and All Saints is the largest church building in Derbyshire, and is famous locally and internationally for its crooked spire, attracting visitors from around the world.
The church is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. for anyone to find a quiet place to pray, to visit or look around.
Please see the Contact page for the church’s location and how to get here.
See inside the famous Crooked Spire! (Weather and peregrines permitting) see the view from the top of the church tower!
Learn why the spire is crooked, and learn about the peregrine falcons that breed under the spire! Find out about the eleven bells!
Tower Tours are available from Easter until Remembrance each year, and normally run on Fridays and Saturdays at 2.30 p.m. for an hour.
Please read carefully: Tower Tours in the first few weeks of the season will be unable to access the viewing platform while essential safety work is planned.
The timing of this work is dependent on whether a breeding pair of peregrine falcons settles on the other side of the tower from the platform,
which makes it impossible for visitors or workmen to access until the young are fledged.
The tours will still be full of interest, and it will still be possible to see up into the Crooked Spire itself.
The maximum number for each tour is 15. Tickets may be obtained from the church Gift Shop from the Monday of the week when the tour takes place. Booking online or over the telephone is not possible, sorry.
Tickets are £10 each for adults, £5 each for children under 16, and a family ticket (two adults; two children) is available for a discounted price of £20.
If you have a group of at least 10, we may be able to arrange additional tours, subject to timings, services and events in the church, and availability of guides. Please enquire on 01246 206506 (leave a message please!), or email contact@crookedspire.org.
