There will be no entrance charge, but donations will be welcome towards church funds and The Women’s Refuge.
A spokesperson for the church said: “As well as viewing all the lit-up trees and the children’s displays – our beautiful church offers you the opportunity to take time out in the busy run up to the Christmas Festivities – a moment to draw breath and remember what Christmas is really about.
“We offer you a chance to sit and rest – to chat to us if you wish, or just to sit and be still. Then invite you to enjoy a hot drink and mincepie.”
