Hilda’s is home to students of nearly every major religion and there are both in college religious groups and University wide societies. These stretch from the John Wesley society, to the Islamic students society to the Jewish students society. Whatever your religion there is a group somewhere for you. Below are some descriptions of college and University Christian Groups, Muslim groups and Jewish groups.
Hilda’s chapel is located on the ground floor of Milham Ford and is open to ALL Hilda’s students.
Our chapel is a great place to take a break from the hectic day-to-day life at Hilda's as well as to pray and reflect. The chapel also hosts several events throughout the year which include everything from services to discussions (with free food!). We welcome everyone whether or not you practice a religion and would love to see lots of you taking part in all that the chapel community has to offer. Please feel free to come along to any of the chapel events during the course if the year or simply have a chat with us about any questions or suggestions you might have.
