About This Event

For a unique glimpse into a forgotten past, Imber Church, the ancient parish church of a village now largely lost to time, will be welcoming visitors once more on Saturday 15 August 2026. Imber, situated in the heart of Salisbury Plain near Swindon, is a poignant reminder of wartime exigencies, having been evacuated by its residents in 1943 to make way for essential military training exercises. Since then, the village has remained largely uninhabited, its buildings preserved as a stark memorial. The opportunity to explore St Giles Church, the sole building still maintained within the deserted village, offers a rare chance to step back in time. Visitors can discover the history and atmosphere of this fascinating location. For comprehensive information on how to access Imber and the specific opening times for the church on this special day, please refer to the official St Giles Church website.
