Wymondham Abbey, Church Street, Wymondham, Norfolk NR18 0PH

Wymondham Abbey is a magnificent building that has been at the heart of our community for over 900 years, but it is far more than just a building. Every year thousands of people come through its doors; people who join us for worship, those who come as tourists and those who simply drop by to light a candle, say a prayer and enjoy the very special atmosphere. The Abbey is a place where many people experience the tangible presence of God.

There is level access to most parts of the abbey, and disabled parking is available near the main entrance.

All day car parking £4 at Central Hall (NR18 0QB) and Town Green (NR18 0PX), both a short walk from the Priory.
