DIRECTIONS

St John’s Church, Farncombe, Godalming GU7 3EJ

St. John’s Church is situated in St. John’s Street right in the centre of the village just opposite the Co-op store. It was built over 160 years ago and was extensively refurbished in 2012 with new seating, flooring and lighting. It has wonderful acoustics for all types of music as well as a unique atmosphere.

There is no parking at the church itself, but there is some street parking and a number of public car parks within 5 minutes walk of the church. We’d recommend Meadrow car park, just off the A3100 (the Guildford-Godalming road) – the postcode is GU7 3HY. It’s free in the evenings and it’s a short walk direct to the church from the car park, up Church Path.

SEATING

Seating is unreserved
