A Little Bit About Us
We are a friendly and growing little church tucked within the medieval walls of York on the historic street of Walmgate. Serving a rapidly changing parish in our corner of the city, we strive to be a community resource for all and are very pleased that our nearby Church Hall is one of the city’s Warm Spaces. St Denys is a haven of quiet in the hustle and bustle of city life, giving a warm Yorkshire welcome to all who come to visit be it join our worship or to gaze on our outstanding array of medieval stained glass.
We would love to extend our welcome to you on any Sunday of the year or to any of our events!
Deaf Community
We have a special mission to the deaf community in York with a monthly service that is fully signed (BSL).
Opening Times
St Denys is open Monday to Friday. Our normal open hours are 10.00am to 4.00pm, however we depend on volunteers to open and close the church and so times may differ. We welcome visitors to view our historic church or just to sit quietly in the presence of God. If it is necessary for the church to be closed we will, when possible, give details on A Church Near You www.achurchnearyou.com/church/18965.
