Welcome

To walk from the ruins of the old Cathedral into the splendour of the new is to walk from Good Friday to Easter, from the ravages of human self-destruction to the glorious hope of resurrection.  Your heart is lifted, your spirit is renewed and you feel that there is hope for the world.  Thanks to God's mercy, reconciliation is possible.

It is this that has made Coventry Cathedral a dynamic centre of worship and mission, a place of pilgrimage, liturgical creativity, healing; a focus for international reconciliation, education and the arts; a frequent venue for national services and television and radio broadcasts; a church for the City, the Diocese and even for the world.

I hope that this website will inspire you to visit us and experience the beauty of the Cathedral, old and new, and to reflect on the need and cost of reconciliation.

Please join us for worship in the new Cathedral. Services are held on Sundays at 08:00, 10:30, 16:00 and 18:30 on Saturdays at 12:00 and 17:15 and weekdays at 8:40, 12:00 and 17:15.  Please check the Worship section of the website for further details.

The Cathedral is open to visitors daily all year round 0900-1700 (services permitting).  Entrance is free but a voluntary minimum donation of £3.00 to cover costs would be much appreciated.

I hope that you too will both enjoy and be inspired by our Cathedral.

The Very Revd John Irvine
The Dean of Coventry Cathedral
