After a year-long, £500,000 complete refurbishment, All Saints Otley is opening its doors for a weekend of celebrations at the end of February.

Vicar, the Revd Graham Buttanshaw, said: "With new heating, lighting and sound, plus comfortable chairs instead of pews, this project has brought our Grade 1 listed building into the 21st Century and made it a very adaptable space for church and community use.

"The church has been at the heart of the town for more than a thousand years, and it's all part of our vision to create a place for everyone, with Christ at the centre.

Otley's MP Greg Mulholland will officially open the building at a champagne reception for community and church leaders on 27 February 27, and from 10am-4pm the church will open to everyone with a variety of exhibitions and a café.

On Sunday 28 February, Bishop Paul Slater will preach at the 10am Communion service and Bishop Nick will preach at the opening celebration service at 4pm.
