You no longer need to book with us in order to reserve a seat in church - we only followed this protocol during the Christmas services. St Gwynno's church continues to be closed as it remains too small to comply with social distancing. However we will be continuing to use the garden there for church activities like a prayer trail and open air services when they can resume.
