St Marylebone at Open House Festival 2025
We are delighted to be taking part in the Open House Festival 2025 with a welcoming programme of events for all visitors. Join us for guided tours of our historic parish church and a specially designed touch tour for visually impaired people, including blind and partially sighted guests.
Programme
Guided Tours of St Marylebone Church
12:00 PM and 2:00 PM
Step inside over 900 years of history with a guided tour led by our knowledgeable volunteers. Discover the rich heritage, architecture, and stories that make this building so special.
Open Display: Hidden in Plain Sight
11:00 AM – 3.oo PM
Touch the details others miss. Tactile models and textured replicas reveal acanthus leaves, fleurons and cherubs—hidden elements of sacred architecture you can finally feel. Discover the symbolism, beauty and craftsmanship of architectural details through touch.
This display is intentionally tactile and designed for hands-on exploration. All visitors, including people who are blind or partially sighted, are welcome. Please ask staff for a short guided introduction or for descriptions of any model. Surfaces are cleaned regularly; contact us in advance if you have specific access needs.
