A TOWN church is opening its doors and revealing hidden secrets next weekend.

St Michael’s Church, in Mere, is welcoming visitors on September 9 and 10 as part of a nationwide event showcasing heritage buildings.

On Saturday, September 9, from 10am to 4pm, and from 1pm to 4pm the following day, the church will be opening up some little-seen parts of the church and introducing visitors to some fascinating information about the place of worship.

“There will be trips up the tower and up some winding steps into the little-known Parvis room,” an organiser said.

“There will be guided tours around the church and activities especially designed for children.”

The event is free, apart from cups of tea and snacks served in the Grove Buildings.
