The church is under 10 minutes walk from the Winchester railway station, about 5-7 minutes walk from Winchester bus station.
The nearest public car park, St Peter's, is across the road from the church (driving down the North Walls Rd you need to turn left at the traffic lights about half way down onto Hyde Abbey/Gordon Rd).
If you drive 100-150 metres further along the Gordon Rd you find another, cheaper car park (next to the old River Park leisure centre).

Divine Liturgy in Holy Trinity church, Winchester. 16 March 2024.
Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 10:37AM 
On Saturday, March 16th, on the eve of Forgiveness Sunday and the beginning of Great Lent, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in Holy Trinity church, Winchester, by kind permission of the Priest in Charge, Fr Jamie Franklin, and the Parochial Church Council. With the blessing of His Grace, Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, the Liturgy was celebrated by Archpriest Joseph Skinner, Rector of the Parish of St Silouan, Southampton and Dean of South-West England.
Around thirty members of our Parish who live in and around Winchester, or further afield as far as Basingstoke and the Isle of Wight, attended this first service in Winchester, as well as some new people. At the end of the Liturgy, icon cards of St Ephraim the Syrian with the text of his Lenten prayer in English or Slavonic were distributed to the worshippers by Valentina Futoryanova, Churchwarden of the Parish of St Ephraim in Cambridge.
It is hoped that the Liturgy will be served at Holy Trinity once a month. All Orthodox Christians and those interested in Orthodoxy are very welcome, there being no other Orthodox presence in Winchester at present.
Holy Trinity is an Anglo-Catholic parish church, situated in the heart of the historic city of Winchester, which was the capital of England in late Anglo-Saxon times. The church was built in the mid-19th century in the Early Decorated style. Funds were provided by a Church Commission established by an Act of Parliament intended to support the construction of new churches in towns with growing populations. It is a Grade II listed building.

Pilgrimage to Winchester
Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 9:35PM 
With the blessing of His Grace, Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, our Parish pilgrimage took place on 18th September 2023 in the city of Winchester, the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Wessex. We celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the majestic 12th century church of the Holy Cross, by kind permission of the Master of the associated Hospital of St Cross.
It was followed by a picnic lunch on the banks of the nearby River Itchen, and the walk to the historic cathedral in the heart of the city. There we celebrated a moleben at the shrine of St Swithun, a bishop of Winchester in the 9th century who was subsequently glorified by God by numerous miracles. His shrine in the cathedral was a popular pilgrimage destination until its destruction in the reign of Henry VIII.
The contemporary symbolic shrine remains a focus of prayer and has recently been adorned with a number of icons depicting the Lord, the Mother of God, St Swithun and other local saints, including St Birinus, Apostle to the West Saxons.

Parish Pilgrimage to the Isle of Wight - July 2022
Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at 12:38AM 
On Saturday, 16th July, parishioners of the Southampton community together with friends from further afield, about 25 people in all, made a pilgrimage to the ancient church of St Boniface in Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight. The church, which dates from the 11th century, was built by monks from Normandy on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The Divine Liturgy that we celebrated was quite possibly the first Orthodox service there for 1,000 years. Born in Crediton, Devon in 675, St Boniface was a monk of the great monastery of Nursling near Southampton and became the Enlightener of the Germanic lands and Archbishop of Mainz. His long life of service to the Gospel of Christ was crowned by martyrdom at Pentecost in 754 as he was preparing to baptise a group of catechumens. The liturgy after the Liturgy consisted of a picnic on the beach under hot sun and cloudless skies. Many pilgrims, both young and old, cooled off in the sea before returning home after a wonderful day.
