Guided tours of Preston’s tallest spire are on offer for the first time.

The tours of St Walburge’s will be followed by mulled wine and mince pies in the church porch.

The Grade I listed church on Weston Street is an iconic Preston landmark thanks to its 94 metre high spire, which is the tallest of any parish church in England.

St Walburge’s also hosts heritage tours of the church’s interior every Saturday between 11.30am and 2.30pm.
