Churches in Blaby Parish

Blaby: All Saints

Church Street Blaby Leicester
https://allsaintsblaby.com

Blaby is about three miles south from Leicester city centre. In
recent years it has changed rapidly from a semi industrial and
farming village to almost a suburb of the city. The Church
building still has a quiet village feel and is a place of prayer for
all who wish to use it as such.

We welcome all visitors and regular worshippers as often as you
care to attend. Children are always welcome in Church at ALL
services. We honestly don't mind if small children make a noise;
it's what we expect.


Baptisms/Christenings usually take place during one of our main 10am Sunday Services.  This is usually on the 2nd Sunday of the Month.  Please Get in Touch if you would like some more information about Baptism.

If you are planning your Wedding and would like to be married at All Saints, Blaby, please Get in Touch with our Rector, and also take a look at the Church of England website https://www.yourchurchwedding.org/
