We are pleased to launch the FREE summer guided tour in August again for anyone who would like to discover the treasures of Birmingham Cathedral.

No need to book. Just meet at the main entrance. Our experienced and knowledgeable tour guides will lead you to explore the history of the cathedral and our beautiful stained-glass windows designed by Edward Burne-Jones.

While the tour is free of charge, donations are encouraged to support the work of the cathedral.

We are underway with a series of Nativity Workshops in the cathedral with artist Melanie Tomlinson. Our workshops are a wonderful chance to be involved in the making and designing of our ambitious and beautiful new Nativity Set which will be in the cathedral from Advent Sunday, 30th November 2025.
There will be a FREE workshops for children and families to participate. Children must be aged 5-12 and accompanied by an adult. One adult can accompany 2 children at maximum. Please book tickets for both adult and child participants on our website:

We are very grateful to the Westhill Endowment and to the Birmingham Municipal Charity for generous funding. We are still fundraising, particularly so that we can include animal figures in the Nativity. If you are interested in donating, please contact Canon Andy at [email protected].
