Find out more about the history of Norwich Cathedral with a free Cathedral tour.

Our experienced volunteer guides bring the stories of Norwich Cathedral to life and offer a wonderful insight into this 900-year-old building as they walk you around its ancient architecture.

Guided tours usually take place Monday to Saturday at 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.

The tours start near the Font in the Nave and there is no need to book in advance.

These tours are subject to guide availability and occasionally it is not possible to offer these tours due to other events in the Cathedral, rehearsals or essential maintenance.

Please note that on these free tours we are not able to accommodate groups of eight or more people. For more information on group bookings please click the button below.

Our Welcome Booklet provides visitors with all you need to know to explore Norwich Cathedral at your own pace.
