Chapels and Faith Spaces

The Chapels at Chester and Warrington play host to our daily and weekly services.  The worshipping communities of the Chester and Warrington Chapels are diverse groups of students and staff who seek to offer varied and stimulating services and events, open to all.

In addition to the Chapels, the university provides Faith Spaces at Chester, Warrington and Riverside for those of all faiths and none, for prayer or quiet reflection.  Each Faith Space is divided into male and female rooms, with washing facilities in or nearby each room.

The Chapel on the Chester campus plays host to many of our major University services, as well as daily services.
