Visitor Tickets and Tours

We recommend booking visitor tickets in advance, although tickets can be purchased on arrival at the Cathedral.

We also offer the option to include a visit to The Stained Glass Museum, housed upstairs in the Cathedral.

Pre-booking is advised if you want to join any of our tours as places are limited. These tours include Octagon Tower Tours, West Tower Experience*, and Ground Floor Tours. * Please note: The West Tower Experience is temporarily suspended due to nesting peregrines. It will resume once the chicks are fledged *
