SEPTEMBER DATES FROM 10 AM TO 4 PM
Friday 12th, Saturday 13th, Tuesday 16th, Thursday 18th, Friday 19th.
There has been a church at Sompting since the Saxons started building it in 960. It has been added to and altered over the centuries by the local people.
Now a listed building, it is difficult to make further alterations but some are afoot.
The Church, sometimes known as the "Cathedral of the Downs", is normally open once a week for visitors and once a month for a service. For as many days as possible in September, it will be open for longer and with occasional tours.
Vehicle approach is from the west along the A27. Turn left at Church Lane. Car park is before the church. Public transport (not on Sundays) to Lyons Farm and walk across the fields.
Visit and look around or take a tour.
Tours of 15 people, approximately 45 minutes
