About

A warm welcome awaits you at Gloucester Cathedral - one of the finest medieval buildings in the country and the burial place of royalty.


Trace 1000 years of architectural styles from Norman through Perpendicular to the present day where our team of stonemasons are still carving and casting. The extraordinary fan-faulted medieval cloisters and Great East Window are national treasures and the Lady Chapel houses some of the finest Arts & Crafts glass in the country.

Daily public worship has re-commenced at the Cathedral. The Cathedral Eucharist will take place every Sunday at 10.15am and on each weekday Monday to Saturday, there will also be a short service of Holy Communion at 12.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.  

The Monk’s Kitchen Café is open serving a delicious selection of cakes, cream teas, sandwiches, drinks and much more. .  

Full details can be found on the Cathedral website. There is also a short video which people can view before planning their visit. 

Please refer to the Cathedral website www.gloucestercathedral.org.uk for services and events times.
