We would love to help you celebrate your wedding at St Bartholomew’s. Our beautiful, ancient church is only a few minutes drive away from some of the most sought after reception venues in the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland.
Follow the link to find out more or contact Barbara or Laura to chat about how we can help be part of your plans for your special day.

Baptism is a response to God’s love. It’s a way of saying you want to follow Jesus and be part of his family, the church.
You can be baptized at any age. If you yourself are being baptized, you will make some serious promises about your personal faith and your decision to follow Jesus. If your child is being baptized, you and the godparents will make the same promises on behalf of the child.

There is so much to think about when someone has died. We understand how difficult this can be and can help you create a funeral which will reflect the unique life of the person you knew. If you would like to arrange a funeral at St Bartholomew’s, please contact Reverend Wilma on 01995 61252, or click the Contact Us button below.
