St Peter’s is an open and inclusive worshipping community where all are welcome. This town centre church is open daily for prayer and quiet reflection and is a centre of peaceful stillness appreciated by visitors and locals alike. Morning prayer is held in the Hardye Chapel on Monday and Thursday mornings at 9.00am and on a Sunday morning there are two main services – an earlier, quiet more devotional spoken service at 9.00am based on the Book of Common Prayer and at 10.30am the Sung Eucharist with a full and excellent choir. There is also a weekday communion on Thursday mornings. The liturgy and worship at St Peter’s are formal but the atmosphere informal; we seek to be a place where all can explore and deepen their spirituality and relationship with God in a safe and nurturing environment. There is a regular monthly theology discussion group. The Church itself is a beautiful medieval building with rich historical associations with the town and individuals such as Rev. John White and Thomas Hardye.

Architecturally fairly interesting, and with some important tomb-sculptures, but unattractively set next to the main road through the town. Worth popping your head in if you're passing, but not worth a detour.
Lovely commissioning service in such a beautiful building
Lovely people, and a very lovely Christmas service
Warm, inclusive broad Anglican church. Midweek services are quiet and contemplative, but festal liturgy and music is to a very high standard indeed.
Well worth a visit. Especially as just next door to the excellent Dorset Museum. Plus, no one seems to mention the Michael Caine gargoyle effigy on the left of the door arch... ;)
