For churches
Whether you are from one church or represent many, find out how to get involved in ExploreChurches and benefit from our church tourism training and support.
ExploreChurches is the perfect place to discover a love for churches and to find out all the information you need to visit them.
Churches, chapels and meeting houses are 'treasure houses' of heritage, history and community.
The potential for churches to attract visitors and for visits to be enjoyable and worthwhile is huge. The UK has a wonderful national collection of churches, chapels and meeting houses peppered across the countryside and nestling in our towns. Perhaps this is why visiting churches (both old and new) is one of the most popular pastimes in the country, and such sites also attract foreign visitors.
ExploreChurches is the perfect place to discover a love for churches and to find out all the information you need to visit them.
Brought to you by the National Churches Trust and managed by NCT Heritage Services Ltd our aim is for this website to become the entry point for everyone wanting to visit a historic church, chapel or meeting house.
ExploreChurches is for people interested in heritage and history who may not have thought of visiting a church, as well as those who already know they love these incredible buildings. The UKs amazing churches, chapels and meeting houses are world leading heritage and ExploreChurches also helps churches become more sustainable visitor destinations by providing advice for people who manage church buildings on how best to attract visitors, including training for volunteers.
