Etheldreda 1350 Tour

Tuesdays, 2.30pm

This year we are celebrating the remarkable life of our founding saint and Saxon Queen, St Etheldreda who in AD 673 founded a monastery in Ely, the very beginning of the Cathedral’s rich history.

Our experienced guides have developed a new, hour-long tour around the Cathedral, which will take you on a journey through her incredible life and legacy.

The tour is only available on Tuesdays and Saturdays during this anniversary year, so please enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the influence of this incredible woman in stunning surroundings.

Adults will need a standard visitor ticket in order to book an Etheldreda Tour.

Days and Times: Tuesdays, 2.30pm
Tour Booking Fee: £1.50. The tour is only suitable for children aged 12 and over who will also need a tour ticket. Please check here for alternative family activities for younger children.

Tickets also include a 10% discount for the ticket holder at the Almonry Restaurant on the day of the tour.

Please check any changes to opening hours before you visit.

Please meet your guide at the west end of the Nave, 5 minutes before your tour is due to start.
