Church Open for Enquiries

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday the church is open for an hour. If you would like to ask about weddings, baptisms or just to have a chat; or just come and sit in the church and hold the space for you and God. You are most welcome to come. The hour will end with an informal evening prayer beginning at 7pm, you are more than welcome to stay or come just for the moment of gathering together to pray and give your day and all that is on your heart over to God.

More about North Road

Durham, England

North Road sits snugly in Durham, a spot where the riverside air is always fresh and the local pubs have stories older than the county itself. We've mapped out every market stall and community hall so you don't have to waste time scrolling through endless feeds on a rainy afternoon. From theatre nights to family gatherings, the town keeps its calendar full without needing to shout about it. Near Here gathers these regulars into one tidy list, meaning you can plan your evening while still wearing those well-loved walking shoes.
