St
Peter and St Paul is the Church of England parish church
for Seal, near
Sevenoaks. Whoever you are, you'll find a warm welcome
at our services and activities. We believe that
everyone is loved by God and is part of his
family. Whatever your background, age, ability,
disability, gender or sexuality, whatever your level of
faith or doubt, whatever the story of your life, we'll
be glad to see you. Our ancient church is normally open during the day - many people use it - and the peaceful churchyard has beautiful views over the North Downs. It's a great place to be, and a great place to be yourself.

----------------------------------
Would you like
to get married at Seal Church?
We'll be delighted to help.
It is nearly always possible for opposite sex couples to be married here at Seal Church, even if you don't live in the parish. Just get in touch with the vicar to talk about it. Sadly, we aren't allowed to marry same-sex couples yet.
Weddings cost between £489 and £774 depending on what "extras" you have, but if money is a problem we may still be able to help, so don't let that be a barrier.
Church weddings don't have to be big or fancy. Brides don't have to wear white. You don't have to be churchgoers. We'll be happy to help you plan a wedding that suits you, as far as it is legally and practically possible to do so.
