About Us

St Martin's Church is a stunning Victorian Grade 2 listed building which has a fascinating history. For more than a thousand years Christians have worshipped on this site in the centre of our busy market town. The buildings which have been here have evolved to meet the changing needs of the community and continue to do so.

On most weeks, a service of Holy Eucharist would take place at 11am on Wednesdays and 10am on Sundays with a Book of Common Prayer Eucharist service at 8am on Sundays. Morning and Evening Prayers are said on weekdays in the Lady Chapel. A Choral Evensong is sung on the first Sunday of each month. Details of our services can be found via the button below:

Music plays a central part in our worship at St Martin’s. We have a long tradition of high quality church music, supported by a Director of Music and a well-established choir. The choir leads choral evensong the first Sunday each month (except in August) and leads our worship at a number of other occasions during the year.

A vital part of the musical life at St Martin's is provided by the William Cole Church Music Trust, which supports organ and choral scholar awards. We occasionally have a recital on Saturdays called "Music at Midday" to which all are welcome. Details of each concerts will be published in the weeks before the event. Entry is free with a retiring collection in aid of the William Cole Church Music Trust.

The Friends of St. Martin's Church, Dorking, were formed in 1981 to raise funds for preserving, maintaining and renewing this splendid Victorian building and its fabric, furniture and fittings.
