The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas

General information

You are warmly invited to visit the Cathedral – whether you wish to join us for worship, or are seeking some space for peace and quiet, or are interested in exploring the Cathedral’s treasures of monuments, ledger stones (we have one of the largest collections in Western Europe) and stained glass.

The Cathedral is open Sunday to Friday from 7.30am until 6.30pm, and on Saturdays and Bank Holidays from 8.30am until 4.00pm.

There is no charge for entry – although donations are requested (we suggest £5 per adult visitor).

Times of daily services are available on our website: http://stnicholascathedral.co.uk/events-and-services/. Occasionally we are closed for special events. This information can also be found on our website.

The Cathedral has disabled access and is a registered Safe Place.

As you enter the Cathedral through one of the doors under the Lantern Tower you will see the Welcome Desk. On this desk are various leaflets and booklets about the Cathedral, about events taking place here and about the Christian faith. These include a free Welcome leaflet which includes a suggested route to explore the Cathedral and some of its treasures.

The Cathedral’s Dog Leap Café is open from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday and serves lunches, light bites, home-made cakes, teas and coffees.
