We offer a wide range of tours to suit the casual visitor and those coming with a particular interest on one of our themed tours.
Our trained Guides conduct general guided tours of the Cathedral every day (Monday - Saturday) at the following times: 10.45am, 12.30pm and 2.15pm.
The tours begin in the Nave at the Welcome and Information Desk and last approximately forty-five minutes.
These tours are for the casual visitor and family group. We make no charge but we ask for a donation at the end.
Roving Cathedral Guides are available, morning and afternoon, to answer your questions if you do not wish to take a tour. They can be identified by their green sashes.
Groups should book their visit in advance in order to avoid services and other events. They cannot be accommodated on the normal informal tours.
If you wish to bring a group to visit the Cathedral our guides can provide a choice of themed tours to suit your particular requirements. Please contact the Cathedral Reception on 01603 218300 at least one month in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements and ensure your visit is not disrupted by coinciding with the organ being tuned or any special services.
Group guided tours run all year between 10.00am and 4.00 .pm and last approximately one hour, depending on your requirements.
Group guided tours begin near the Information Desk in the Nave of the Cathedral and cost £4.00 per adult, £2.00 per child/student.
