Gloucester Cathedral

Gloucester Cathedral is a glorious sacred space at the heart of the city, with a history that can be traced back to 679AD. Worship takes place daily, and all are warmly welcome to attend. The Cathedral is also open daily for general visiting, with entry by voluntary donation. There is something for everyone, including regular guided tours, a family-friendly exhibition space, a peaceful garden and the chance to walk through the world-famous Cloister that has starred in three of the Harry Potter movies. The Monk's Kitchen offers homemade cakes, sandwiches and coffee, whilst the Cathedral Gift Shop is the perfect place to pick up a souvenir from your visit. 

We are committed to ensuring that Gloucester Cathedral is accessible for all. Further information about accessibility can be found on our website: https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/visit/accessibility
