St Nicholas Chapel KL

St Nicholas Chapel KL Historic Chapel operating as a mixed-use venue, available to hire for public & private events

The largest Chapel of Ease in the country, St Nicholas’ Chapel was originally founded by William Turbus, the third Bishop of Norwich in around 1140. The building we see today is mostly the result of substantial re-building between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, with the exception of the tower, which originally dates from around 1225 and was comprehensively reordered in 1852. The Chapel is

in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust, the national charity saving historic churches at risk, with support from the Freinds of St Nicholas' Chapel. In September 2015 it was reopened following a £2.7m regeneration project, in partnership with the Friends of St Nicholas' Chapel and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Since reopening, the chapel has begun a new life as a venue for a range of cultural events including concerts, fairs and exhibitions, as well as public, private and corporate functons.

You may have heard a crack was identified in one of our roof timbers and the Chapel was closed as a result.

A full inspection is taking place today and the information from that will be used to plan both remedial works and potential interim measures to allow the Chapel to re-open.

All thanks to Retro Party Experience, Lumos Experiences, King's Lynn Community Choir, King's Lynn Festival Chorus & Norfolk Symphony Orchestra, our May and June hirers, for their understanding and to King's Lynn Minster for accommodating some of those events.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as we can.

We’re so disappointed to share this news with you, but it has been necessary for the CCT to postpone the amazing Retro Party Experience’s hire of the Chapel this weekend. We’ve been looking at other dates with them and are pleased to say both nights have been rescheduled for September.

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused both to the organisers and ticket holders, we love having you all here, but must put public safety first.

A crack has been identified to one of our roof timbers so sadly we must remain closed as a precaution until further investigations are made.
