St Nicholas Chapel KL

St Nicholas Chapel KL Historic Chapel operating as a mixed-use venue, available to hire for public & private events

The largest Chapel of Ease in the country, St Nicholas’ Chapel was originally founded by William Turbus, the third Bishop of Norwich in around 1140. The building we see today is mostly the result of substantial re-building between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, with the exception of the tower, which originally dates from around 1225 and was comprehensively reordered in 1852. The Chapel is

in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust, the national charity saving historic churches at risk, with support from the Freinds of St Nicholas' Chapel. In September 2015 it was reopened following a £2.7m regeneration project, in partnership with the Friends of St Nicholas' Chapel and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Since reopening, the chapel has begun a new life as a venue for a range of cultural events including concerts, fairs and exhibitions, as well as public, private and corporate functons.

So if you’ve seen our posts of late you’ll know we’ve had visits from a Norfolk Blood Bikes motorbike & a Retro Party Experience Pac-Man. December has been quite the month as tonight we were visited by a donkey, 2 sheep & some angels 😇

We were delighted to be joined by The Beacon Church for their well attended Live Nativity & Carols in the churchyard. Processing from the Tuesday Market Place everyone played their part to a tee & the carols sounded very festive!

Another fabulous night here & not something we’ve had here before, was great to see everyone dancing to their own beat 🎶

The first Silent Disco here but not the last, watch this space 😇

Despite the wretched weather there was a great turnout for King's Lynn Community Choir’s concert last night, all thanks to the audience for braving the storm!

It really was well worth it though for everyone who came along, a varied programme with some challenging pieces but what can we say, the choir were on top form 🎶 They owned it!

This wasn’t just a great night of entertainment though, the choir were raising much needed funds for Kings Lynn Foodbank & Norfolk Blood Bikes ❤️ who brought along one of their bikes to showcase the great work they do. (We thought it looked very fetching parked next to our 15th c bell!)

Thanks also to Friends of St Nicholas’ Chapel for providing the bar, cheers! 🍻

First #ChristmasPartyNight of 2024 from Retro Party Experience & Badness!

See the weekend in with us on Friday then see it out with Magical Mozart By Candlelight Tour on Sunday! Tickets still available from We Love Concerts 🎶

Think the crowd reaction proves what a great night it was here for The Shires concert! Brilliant performance, fantastic audience 😇

Our friends King's Lynn Community Choir did themselves proud for their sold out Summer Concert, don’t take our word for it though, here’s a little of what the audience thought! Fair to say a good time was had by all, while raising much needed funds for Kings Lynn Foodbank & Norfolk Blood Bikes ❤️

As is the tradition King's Lynn Minster ring in King's Lynn Festival fortnight, while we have some fine bell ringing here today to mark the last day 🔔

We were a bit busy & forgot to share this on Friday, enjoy!! 🔔🔔🔔

We’ve shared a few photos already so here’s a little bit of Supersonic Queen in action, they might well want it all but they certainly gave it their all too!! Do remember folks this was recorded on a phone 😇

Such a great performance all round from The Sheringham Shantymen with the audience joining in for good measure on this one!

And of course The Sheringham Shantymen sounded just amazing in here but don’t just take our word for it!

What could be more magikally Mydwynter than this? Mediaeval Baebes dancing, singing & generally making merry!* *there was a little lamenting too, just for balance 😉

Here’s a little snippet of the amazing Mediaeval Baebes who we were delighted to have here with us last night! Please take our word for it when we say they sounded & looked so much better than our low tech recording, just listen to the audience at the end if you don’t believe us… Their tour continues if you’ve not seen them yet or want to see them again, do check their page for details 😇

What a fabulously festive evening, a great performance & varied repertoire from King's Lynn Community Choir. It’s their first time here at the Chapel & we’re hoping they’ll be back in 2023! The choir were also raising much needed funds for King's Lynn Night Shelter who do such amazing work here in our town ❤️
