Located right in the heart of Dover Town Centre, and just off the High Street we are a popular choice for venue hire. We have two halls, a reception area and a kitchen area that can be hired, offering versatile and multi-functional spaces for meetings, group sessions, choirs and other activities. If you would like to make an enquiry about hiring our halls, to make a booking or book an appointment to come and view the facilities (which is highly recommended), please contact the Parish Centre Manager, Trish Simmons.

Planning your Visit

Service times at
St Mary's, Dover

We extend a very warm welcome to you to come and join us for one of our services.

If you like (or want to discover more about) traditional Anglican music and worship, then St Mary's is the place for you. In the first chapter of the gospel of John, the apostle Philip says to Nathaniel, "Come and See", and that is the simple invitation we offer to you today.

Sunday worship:

  • On the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays of every month, we have a sung Eucharist service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This service starts at 10.45am and lasts about an hour. 
  • On the second Sunday of every month, we have a Sung Matins service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This also starts at 10:45am. 
  • All our Sunday services are followed by coffee in the Parish Centre. 

Choral evensong:

  • On the fourth Sunday of the month, we have a traditional choral evensong service (except for April, August and December). This service starts at 6:00pm and lasts about an hour. We also host an evensong and supper on a quarterly basis and everyone is invited to join us for supper after the service (donations towards the supper are gratefully received). 

Wednesday worship:

  • Every Wednesday, we have a short Holy Communion service at 10am lasting for 30 minutes. This is followed by coffee in the Parish Centre.

Our forthcoming services are also updated at 'A Church Near You'
