The Kirk is in a pedestrian area in the centre of the City, bounded
by South Street and High Street, and stands about 100m west of the
River Tay.
If you are near either of the town-centre bridges over the River Tay
you are very close - just look for the distinctive grey spire with
the cockerel weather vane.
There are two multi-storey car parks close by, but access to St
John's Square for vehicles is controlled by a permit system |

Entry for Visitors -
The Kirk is a working Church, but is open to visitors whenever the
Church Officer is present. However, if a morning service, funeral, or
wedding service is in progress, visitors will be asked to wait until
it finishes. Guided tours for groups can be arranged in
advance. A charge of £2.00 per person is made and each tour
usually lasts about 1 hour. The content can be varied to suit special
interest groups - please ask!
St. John's Kirk is the venue for concerts and drama productions
throughout the year, but especially during the Perth Festival of the
Arts in May - to link to the festival web-site click here.
