Churches in Market Harborough are beginning to hold Covid-secure indoor services again as the country slowly starts to return to normal.

The arrangements are to be constantly reviewed and changed if necessary depending on Government guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic.

St Dionysius Church on Market Harborough High Street will be staging two in-building services on Easter Sunday (April 4) at 9.30am (Holy Communion) and 11.15am (Team family service).

“It is hoped to continue these from then on,” said a church spokesman.

“However, no booking will be required.”

From Monday April 5 the church will be open for private prayer from 10am-2pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
