Lovely building with lots of history. Fab staff guided us up the spire and ensured any questions we had were answered. Bit scary at first as the staircase is very steep but worth it for the views. They only open the spire a few times a year but well worth a visit anyway as the church itself is stunning. Needs repair inside but they're trying their best

St Walburges church is one of the most wonderful churches that I have had the honour to visit on many occasions. The interior from the structure to the heavenly sculptures are breathtaking, so beautiful. I would happily recommend this wonderful church two others as it is a perfect place of peace and to pray.

We did the spire climb. An excellent visit to an awe inspiring church in need of restoration. Greatest by friendly staff and everyone welcoming and the guides are excellent in their historic knowledge of the church. A superb idea in which to try and raise funds to keep this grade 1 listed building going. Concrete (170ish) steps so not for the fainthearted, spiralling with no rope/handrails. Once you get to the top you can see across Preston, seeing Blackpool tower on a good day. Mulled wine, hot chocolate, tea and croissants afterward free of charge.

My family has many connections with this church, but it is not easy to ignore this huge building high above Preston. A staggeringly beautiful interior which is well worth a look if you are in the area.

Wonderful tour by the incredibly knowledgeable parish priest that ended with a trip up a very small spiral staircase to the top of the spire... which is also the name of Father's adorable lab! It's free of charge and a must see if you're interested in Preston's history.
