On certain festivals the Church is only open for worship – please check their website.

St Mary Redcliffe is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture which has stood on this site for some 800 years. Within its walls you will find a superb collection of carved bosses, elegant eighteenth century ironwork, beautiful stained glass and a world famous organ.

The church is sited on the red cliffs above the floating harbour and was originally at the very centre of shipping and industry which is the key to its history. The merchants of the Port of Bristol began and ended their voyages at the shrine of Our Lady of Redcliffe and to them, especially William Canynges and his grandson in the 14th and 15th centuries, St Mary Redcliffe owes the body of the Church as it is today.
