Welcome
St Andrew and St Peter Church stands proud on a hill with the tower visible from East and West as you approach the village of Blofield. It is the largest church between Great Yarmouth and Norwich.
Over the years Blofield Church has provided solace, a warm welcome and inspiration for many thousands of parishioners and visitors.
All who enter the church, looking for a place of worship and prayer or to attend one of the many activities or events on offer, will be welcomed in the refurbished community area in the West End.

EcoChurch Awards
A small team at Blofield church have been working hard towards achieving an award under this scheme, now fulfilling the requirements of a 
Bronze Award in June 2026. Work will now continue towards the Silver award. To obtain the Bronze award, the team has had to answer a survey of over 90 questions in five categories: Worship & Teaching, Land & Nature, Buildings & Energy, Lifestyle and Community Involvement. The scheme covers many of the challenges affecting God’s creation: dealing with waste and reducing energy consumption; protection of wildlife; recycling, and how we recognise God’s legacy in our prayers.
Our church seeks to celebrate this inheritance in special services such as Rogation Sunday, Harvest Festival, Big Green Week, and outdoor services, subject to weather, such as Good Friday. Details appear on this website, on notices at the church and in the church magazine, Blofield News.
Play Church Toddler and Baby Group
Each Wednesday in the school term you will find a buzz in Blofield Church as children and babies with their parent, carer or grandparent enjoy a wide variety of toys for building, water play, dressing up, sand play, exploring textures, painting, gluing, modelling, also construction, crafts and music-making. All this is in a safe environment where the children can move around and choose activities within easy view of their carer. There is a safe babies’ area with soft toys as well as extra space in the nave for push-along and ride-on toys, and for exploration of ball games. Sessions end with musical instruments and singing together, followed by healthy snacks for the children, and tea and cakes for the grown ups. Friendships have been built between the adults and also the children, while exploring role play activities. Experienced early years volunteers run the group and leaders are DBS checked. There is no charge but a donation in cash or via SUMUP card machine are always welcome to help with heating costs and keep the building warm. We look forward to meeting you between 1pm and 3.15pm any Wednesday during school term time. To contact us ring Yvonne on 07720942955.
