Grade I Listed St. Agnes & St. Pancras' Parish Church is undergoing a £340,000 Restoration Project which will see the replacement of the South-facing roof, repairs to high-level stonework, the installation of a structural monitoring system and various internal repairs.

This is your opportunity to come and learn how such a project works. Climb the scaffolding (under strict supervision) and see the roof structure and high-level stonework at close quarters. Learn about the processes of decay which led to the repairs being needed. Find out about the fund-raising process and hear the fascinating story of the church and of Robert Horsfall, its illustrious Founder.

This FREE event gives you access to ALL AREAS of the church including the Minstrel's Gallery and Western Gallery as well as the roof and you will have a chance to talk to the Project Manager, the Architect and the tradesmen as they carry out the repairs.

FAQs

What are my public transport / parking options for getting to and from the event?

Arriva buses 75, 80 and 80A from the City Centre and service 60 from Bootle and Aigburth Vale provide a frequent service stopping just a few yards from the church on Ullet Road. The fare is £2.30, or £4.40 for a DayRider ticket.

On-street parking in the vicinity of the church is free but limited.

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

For health & safety reasons we cannot allow anyone under 18 to climb the scaffolding.

What should I wear?

SENSIBLE FOOTWEAR for climbing the scaffolding is essential and we will not be able to let you do so if you are wearing flimsy or inappropriate shoes. Bear in mind that this is a live building site and so there is a possibility your clothes could get dirty. Hard hats and high-visibility vests will be provided although you may bring your own if you wish.
