Holy Trinity Church, Folkestone

a nice christmas service was held here on the morning of 18/12/17. it is a beautiful church. my grandmother got married here in 1978 and she said it was a lovely place to get married in.

I am not completely comfortable about church reviews as I do not practise any religion. I visit churches as a tourist, mainly to read plaques and gravestones. In this case however, as a frequent visitor to Folkestone, I visit to see concerts. The church has fine acoustics and often has high quality concerts by Kent orchestras. It is a fine traditional CofE 1866 high spired building with a magnificent organ. The church helpers also sell jams, cards and books. I rarely come away empty handed.

In this church I love Monday Music  classes, which are not only rhythmic and singing exercises, but also a great opportunity to communicate with local residents, not to be afraid to speak English, to practice spoken English with people who are very friendly. At first it was difficult to learn the lyrics of songs unfamiliar to me, but thanks to Grenville , every lesson takes me one step further, it’s hard to assess how tremendous the classes on Mondays are for me!

I hope we can be able to have the opportunity to meet at The Holy Trinity Church every Monday again and again!

Holy Trinity Church is a lovely building and I liked the stained glass windows. I found the atmosphere very calming. You are assured of a warm welcome and you are able to visit for prayers in the mornings and afternoons. There is a choir and they lead the services. The church is a popular place for weddings and other events. There is a hospitality area in the back of the church which serves as a community centre. There is a wheelchair accessible entrance.

Uplifting Palm Sunday service. Lovely welcoming congregation.Thank you.

On my first visit to Folkestone, I looked for a suitable B&B. I managed to find one near a local church and thought, this is ideal, as I wont have far to walk to worship.

I have since discovered that the Holy Trinity Church Folkestone is a Grade II* listed Church. It is a vast Gothic Victorian building with an unusual octagonal tower. I suppose that it was this tower that made it so striking, and was what initially caught my eye.

Nevertheless I had the joy of worshipping there the first Sunday that I was in town. I was warmly greeted and welcomed by the vicar and immediately introduced to fellow congregants who made me feel at home.

I can highly recommend the church for anyone wanting to engage with the community, develop new friendships and draw closer to our Lord and find an answer to the universal question of where to find eternal security.

Second time in a year visiting the wonderful church, first was my sons wedding to the lovely Emily Anson now Graham, Second was to see my Grandson getting Baptised 😀 a mustard see for the architecture

Lovely sitting there in the sun after been shopping and on the way home.
