Please visit the Cathedral website, clicking the 'Services and Events' link at the top of the page, for a list of our daily services to which everyone is warmly invited.

Our service takes place every Sunday at 9.15am and lasts approximately 35 minutes.

We currently meet in the Lady Chapel.

If you're not sure where this is, come to the main entrance (The West Door) and ask a steward to point you in the right direction.

We look forward to welcoming you, having fun and learning about Jesus together.

How do I get to the Cathedral?

The Cathedral is in the heart of Chichester, close to the Market Cross, the centrepoint of the City’s main pedestrianised shopping streets. The Cathedral’s postcode is PO19 1RP.

By car, approach from the M27 (A27) and turn northwards at one of the bypass roundabouts following signs for the city centre. Visitors arriving by car should aim for one of the many public car parks around the City.

The Cathedral is less than a 10 minute walk from Chichester’s Train Station, and is opposite a bus stop.

Do I need to reserve a space?

No, there's no need to reserve a space. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch:

Vicars' Hall will be transformed into a second-hand clothing swap shop from 9.00am - 12.00pm on Saturday 4th May.

Dive into your wardrobe and pick out a few items to bring along and discover some fabulous new things to take home! Everyone is welcome. A Fairtrade café will be offering tea, coffee and cake. Bring along a travel mug and help us reduce, reuse and recycle.

This is a partnership event with Transition Chichester. Born out of a passion for recycling and reusing and the love of finding a bargain, this simple idea is one of Transition Chichester’s big successes. No money changes hands. The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of our carbon emissions each year alongside its ethical challenges around workers’ human rights on farms or in factories. By recycling clothing and ‘breaking up’ with fast fashion, we can reduce our impact on the planet and save money too!

How do I get involved with the Clothes Swap?

- We recommend bringing approximately 3 items of good quality clothing or accessories to swap on the day but please ensure that any clothes you are bringing are clean and in good condition. Pre-loved jackets, jumpers, trousers, dresses, tops, hats and scarves can be brought to swap for new favourites on an item for item basis.
- We may say no to unsuitable items that we’ll ask you to take away yourself (No visible holes or missing buttons please)
- Please do not bring underwear, swimwear or hosiery.

Join the Chichester Cathedral Friends for a coffee, biscuits and a catch up on the first Saturday of the month in the Cathedral’s South Transept at 10.00am - 11.15am.

Everyone is welcome at all of our events. You can also bring a friend, so please come and join us! No booking required - just pop in.

Rogation is an ancient church festival to seek blessing for a community and its sustenance.

The word ‘rogation’ comes from the Latin verb ‘rogare’, meaning "to ask", which reflects the beseeching of God for protection from calamities.

To mark this day, the Cathedral will welcome Guest Preacher The Venerable Martin Lloyd Williams, Archdeacon of Brighton and Lewis. The theme for the sermon is 'Stewards of the Earth' linking to our responsibility as Christians to care for God's creation.

Fairtrade tea and coffee is served for hospitality in the Cathedral. A product with the FAIRTRADE Mark means the producers and businesses have met the stringent Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards. Fairtrade is a simple way we can make a difference to the lives of the people who grow and create the things we love.

Join us behind the scenes in the Cathedral Library.

On the first Tuesday of each month the Library will be open to the public from 10.00am to 12.00pm. You can find the entrance to the Library within the Cathedral Treasury and Shop, located in the North Transept. Please note that access to the Library requires ascending a narrow spiral staircase.

Our knowledge of the Library is partial but a reasonable number of books can be traced back as far as the late 12th century. The Library also has some intriguing stained glass windows and unusually well-preserved stone corbels.

If you would like to find out more please contact the Sub-Librarians at: [email protected] or on 01243 813587. Please note that email is the best way to get in touch, as the library is only staffed for a few hours each week
