How to find us

The market town of Haddington is 20 miles East of Edinburgh along the A1 dual carriageway. Travelling East take the second exit to Haddington - St Mary's is signposted from the main road. Look to the South, and you will see the old church tower in the distance. map

New opening times for visitors

After much discussion, it has been reluctantly decided to open only in the afternoons this year except for Saturdays.

Our new opening hours from 1 May to the end of September are therefore 13:30 until 16:00 on Sundays to Fridays and 11:00 until 16:00 on Saturdays.

In addition, during the Haddington Festival, the church will be open from 11:00 to 16:00 on Monday 31 May to Friday 4 June inclusive.

All will be made welcome and the usual tea room and shop will be available.

Drop In Prayer Events

In our new monthly drop-in times we are going to think about prayer with a broad-brush approach. We may, for example:-
. read scripture, poetry and other Christian literature
. listen to music
. have times of silent reflection
. hear one another's personal thoughts on prayer
as well as bringing current issues, local and national, to God.

As a result of the first event, it was decided to produce a monthly prayer diary. The first of these can be found here.
