Wainsgate Chapel

Wainsgate Chapel is a registered charity & thriving centre of arts, heritage and community

The chapel was transferred into the Historic Chapels Trust’s ownership by the Yorkshire Baptist Association in 2002, after it fell out of use for regular worship. Wainsgate is considered to be ‘at risk’ by English Heritage and is listed grade II*. Wainsgate is looked after locally by the Friends of Wainsgate group which is responsible for the day to day running of the building and the events that take place there.

🎄Preparations are well under way to make Wainsgate Chapel a twinklling festive oasis and a buzzing hive of activity for you this Saturday 30 November from 11-5🎄;

The ingredients for some lip-smacking food and drinks are on their way; delicious cakes aplenty are planned and soon to be baked; a beautiful sparkling grotto is mid-construction in readiness for Santa to take up occupancy; the elves are ironing the creases out of their outfits; artists are preparing their studios; greenery is being gathered from far and wide to decorate the building and for wreath making workshop; the finishing touches are happening to our hand-made gifts for sale; there's a big tree and lots of smaller ones in the Chapel about to be decorated by a lovely crew of local businesses, groups and volunteers; there are choir and band practices happening getting tuned up for their performances; and every part of the building is slowly being hung with a light or three.

Lots more happening too as we make ourselves ready for what will be a great day out, and a suitably celebratory event to end a bumper year of activities at Wainsgate.

Come join us... 11-5 this Saturday.
