  • No ticket required
  • St Helen's Church, St Helen’s Square, York  YO1 8QN

Event details



The Celtic Church was inclusive and creative in relating the Christian faith to everyday life.  At St Helen's we continue to develop this tradition within the worship we offer.  Each evening of the festival at 6pm there will be a short Celtic style service reflecting on the day that is past.  This will  relate both to the Festival  events that day and also enable personal reflection.  It lasts about 20 minutes.

Please note that on Tuesday 17 June the service will take place after the And Was Jerusalem Builded Here? lecture at approximately 7.30pm.
