Bristol Cathedral is a living place of Anglican worship at the heart of one of the UK’s most vibrant cities. People gather here each day to pray, reflect, and share in the beauty of music, scripture, and sacrament. Our pattern of services offers both stillness and celebration, from the quiet rhythms of Morning Prayer to the rich harmonies of Choral Evensong and the shared table of the Sunday Eucharist. Alongside worship, the Cathedral hosts an ever-changing programme of concerts, talks, exhibitions, and community gatherings. These events invite conversation, creativity, and connection, welcoming all who wish to encounter this historic building as a place of discovery and belonging.
