Guided Tours and Educational Visits

Friends of the Cathedral voluntarily conduct guided tours of the 14^C cathedral and museum throughout the year for visitors, community organisations and educational groups. The tour covers the history of the cathedral, its architectural details, its place in the community and some of the interesting monuments.

A guide is also present in the cathedral every weekday through June, July, August and September between 10.30-12.30 am to welcome people, answer questions and show them around if required.

An information leaflet is available free of charge in many languages including: Czech, Dutch, French, Gaelic, German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian and Chinese.

For those with a greater interest there is a handheld audio guide that together with an accompanying map covers in detail the all aspects of the cathedral and grounds including trees and squirrels.

It is advisable to book a guided tour which takes approximately an hour. This can be done by contacting:

The Guides particularly welcome young people and a set of Treasure Hunt sheets are available to take the children round the cathedral. They are designed for all abilities and can support different units of schoolwork.

 No fee is ever charged for taking visitors round the cathedral but many tour groups and visitors give a voluntary donation and this goes towards the work of the Friends of the Cathedral.

 Access to the whole of the cathedral is available for the disabled.
