Welcome to the website of St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Fairfield, Buxton. We are a traditional Parish Church serving the needs of the people of this Church of England Parish on the outskirts of the Spa Town of Buxton. Our aim is to worship God and to proclaim his Son, Jesus, making him known to those amongst whom we live. We try to meet the pastoral needs of the congregation and of the diverse community in which we are set.

Our Sunday worship is Eucharistically centred, with a monthly family orientated service. We provide the full range of occasional Services. Our activities reach out to as wide a range of age groups as possible and we have strong links with our C of E Controlled School – Fairfield Junior School.

If you would like to come and worship with us you will find a warm welcome. If you would like to find out more about our activities or more about the Christian faith there will always be someone to talk to.
