Visiting with a group
All groups wishing to visit should be booked in advance. Booking your group visit means that we can check the availability of your preferred date and time slot, and can ensure that your group has the very best experience with us.
As our friendly and knowledgeable guides are all volunteers who dedicate their own time to the Cathedral we do require at least 2 weeks notice of a tour request, and unfortunately we cannot fulfil requests within a shorter timeframe.

A guided tour is the best way to fully appreciate our ‘casket of jewels’ – one of our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides will lead your group through the history of the Ruins, the Blitz, and the building of the New Cathedral. We recommend allowing roughly an hour and a quarter for a tour, each guide will provide ample opportunity to ask questions along the way. However, if you have a tight schedule please let us know your maximum tour length and will take this into account.
There are many aspects to the Cathedral aside from its history, including the Architecture and Basil Spence’s vision, the Arts contained within the building and the Artists who created them, and the story of Reconciliation which continues today, and our guides are happy to focus on any area which particularly interests your group. If there is any specific area that your group would like to explore then please let us know!
Entry for groups is £8 per person and includes a guided tour from one of our expert guides.
There is no minimum or maximum group size – we book guides specifically for each group and as such can work around your requirements.
If any of your group has accessibility issues please advise at the point of booking your tour. If you have any access issues or queries you would like to raise with the Cathedral please contact us.
