The Blog owner and the photographer have now acknowledged the error which created so many comments. Thanks to you all who took the trouble to add to mine.

We at i61 Church are delighted to announce our forthcoming change of address. Having originally started out a pub in Conwy six years ago, for the last twenty-four months we have been meeting in Ysgol John Bright.  Now we are on the move again, this time to Cineworld in Llandudno Junction! From the 11th of March, everyone and anyone will be welcome to come and catch a service with us, our ‘showing times’ are every Sunday at 11 AM. For more information, please visit our website www.i61.org or alternatively download the free i61 app from the iTunes store.

Senior Pastor Steve Houghton explains the church’s “Down To Earth Spirituality” tag-line:

“i61 is a contemporary church for unchurched people, in other words those who wouldn’t usually want to enter a church building. So we are incredibly excited to bring to them a place where they can enjoy the big-screen experience and amazing sound of Cineworld, as well as the friendly, family atmosphere of our church.”

St. Tudno's Church, Great Orme

The re-roofing and restoration work has now been completed and this was achieved without any grant aid.  Many thanks to everyone who supported Sponsor-a-Slate and other fundraising efforts, your support is greatly appreciated. 

The church is now open every day and open air services are held at 11.00 am each Sunday till the end of September. 

On Sunday 1 July there will be a special service at 3.00 pm to celebrate the restoration of the church.  Everybody is welcome and it is hoped that many supporters of Sponsor-a-Slate will be able to attend.  Although the name on "your" slate will not be visible, you will be able to see your entry in one of the Books of Sponsors. 

Further information can be found on the St. Tudno's page of the parish website.

Holy Trinity Church

Work starts today to refurbish the roof of the Church Hall wing to the south side of the Church. The work will hopefully be completed by the end of September.

Inevitably there will be some inconvenience at times in the car park.

St. Tudno's Church, Great Orme

Here are some photos (taken by my sister) at the Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication on 1 July.  The service began outside with a procession around the church.  We apologise to anyone who was unable to get inside the church due to the high numbers who attended. 

The Books of Sponsors, listing the names on all sponsored slates and any accompanying messages, will be available for viewing before or after services at St. Tudno's Church until the end of September.  After that they will be transferred to the drier atmosphere at Holy Trinity Church, where arrangements can be made to view the books after services.

Open Air Songs of Praise

St. Tudno's Church

Sunday 26 August, 4.00 pm

The hymns have been chosen by members of the congregation, who will be introducing their hymns.  If the weather is bad, the service will be in the church. 

The morning open air services continue at 11.00 am each Sunday until the end of September. 


There is now a new notice board advertising St. Tudno's, under the colonnade opposite the Grand Hotel.  The parish rents this wall space from the Mostyn Estate and also used to rent a second advertising space which was described as "on the Great Orme".  Nobody is sure where this was but I wonder whether it was by the hairpins below St. Tudno's.  Can anyone remember this or, even better, does anyone have an old photo which shows a notice?

St. Tudno's Easter service: we have just realised that the clocks change that weekend.  The time of the early morning service may therefore change.  Watch this space nearer the time!

Some photos from the Boer War Remembrance at St. Tudno's and the Remembrance Day Parade leaving Holy Trinity.  Holy Trinity was packed for the Civic Service and it was good to see a lot of young people there and taking part in the parade.  It was also good to have some members of the Blind Veterans Association (formerly St. Dunstan's) taking part.
