Open
April-September: 7.00am - 7.00pm
October-March: 7.00am - 6.00pm

Please note the Cathedral operates a Quiet Hour 12 noon to 1pm from April to October. This restores the peace and tranquility of this holy place and serves as a reminder of its primary purpose as a place of worship. Guided tours do not take place during Quiet Hour.
Admission charges
Admission to the Cathedral is free - donations are welcome. We receive no direct state aid and need over £2500 per day for the maintenance, upkeep and running costs of this magnificent working cathedral. We ask you to help by giving:

Adult: £5.00
Child/Student: £2.00
Senior Citizen: £3.50

If you are a UK taxpayer please give your donation in a yellow gift aid envelope. This scheme enables the cathedral to claim a tax refund of an extra 28p for every £1 you give.
