A new resource designed to help volunteers extend a warm and meaningful welcome to visitors exploring church heritage, art, and community has been written, compiled and released following work in Herefordshire and Shropshire.

The project, known as “Discover Churches” is hosted on the National Churches Trust website and was launched at the Churches Visitor and Tourism Association Conference on 26th October 2024 in Cambridge.

This is a new, practical, church tourism providing churches, chapels and meeting houses with everything they need to know about opening their building safely and providing a positive experience for their visitors.
