St John's Anglican Church (1841) and its historic precinct is one of Canberra's treasures. It is an oasis of quiet and beauty in the heart of our nation's capital.
Over those decades, people have come to St John's to worship, to experience the good news of Jesus and to be nourished by belonging to a church community.
The church's ambience, pipe organ, bells, stained glass windows and other works of art have enhanced their worship and spiritual lives.
We invite you to ‘come and see’ (the great invitation made by Jesus himself to his early followers) if our St John’s community is a fit for you!
Welcome to St John's
Bearing public witness to Jesus Christ,
the source of life.
St John's 2025 Community Fair
Canberra’s favourite spring fair returns on Saturday 18 October 2025! From 9 am to 2 pm, our beautiful grounds come alive with visitors from across Canberra and the surrounding region and stalls including:
- Plants
- Books
- Clothes
- Gifts
This year, the Fair celebrates the 180th anniversary of St John’s. Our Kids’ Zone returns with rides, amusements and a live reptile display, and we’ll have food options including Thai, Filipino, burgers, a sausage sizzle and coffee, cakes and gelato.
Throughout the day, there’ll be performances from local singers, the McQuoids Bush Band and the Canberra Pipes and Drums, plus displays from our Church Bellringers, the Canberra Regional Medieval Society and many more.
The Community Fair is all about celebrating community, inclusivity and fun – and helping raise funds for the vital work of the Parish.
We look forward to seeing you on 18 October.
