When, where, and how to visit
Our church building is open to the public on Saturdays (10am - 3pm) and Sundays (10am - 3pm), around our service times and the opening hours of our volunteer-run community café.
The Rising Son Café is also open on Tuesdays from 9:30am - 1pm for 'Chinwag Tuesday', so feel free to visit for a warm drink, some homemade cake, and a friendly chat!
Our parish office (in the Peterhouse Community Centre) is open Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm. Please do drop by to enquire about our activities, or to arrange hire for your private event or group.
We have regular activities happening here around the week, as well as special events supported by our National Lottery Heritage Fund community action plan. We welcome school groups and families, and have an exciting volunteer programme that you may wish to be a part of.
St Peter's is a short walk from Wood Street station, which is on the overground and connects to the Victoria Line at Walthamstow Central station. The 20 stops immediately outside our church on the Woodford New Road, and the 230 bus stops nearby at Bisterne Avenue Park.
Safeguarding policy and practice
We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults at risk of harm. Our PCC has adopted the House of Bishops' 'Promoting a Safer Church: Safeguarding Policy Statement'. Our safeguarding practices are in line with those published by the Diocese of Chelmsford and the wider Church of England. To report any safeguarding matter, please contact the Parish Safeguarding Representative, Anita Doherty, via the parish email address: office@stpeterintheforest.org.
