Welcome to English Cathedrals

Time to Discover Cathedrals, Discover Pilgrimage

Our cathedrals are beginning to open up slowly and safely and we are now able to welcome visitors into our buildings. We want to remind you that we’re here, ever present, and ready to be discovered.

And whichever cathedral you decide to visit this year, know you can come on two wheels, four wheels and on foot with new pilgrimage and cycle routes to discover, leading to every one of our 42 cathedrals and our partners in the Church in Wales.

So this year, after the year like no other, make time to Discover Cathedrals, Discover Pilgrimage.

We’re here, as ever, and with you every step of the way.

All our cathedrals have achieved the Visit Britain’s industry standard and consumer charter mark Good to Go which means visitors can be confident that cathedrals are taking all the necessary steps to help ensure people’s safety in line with latest Government and Public Health guidance.

🙏 Remembrance Sunday 🙏
#lestweforget🌹

Courtesy of @coventry_cathedral Today is Remembrance Sunday, a day where we join with the nation in remembering the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms, and all who have lived and died in the service of humanity.

This year Remembrance Sunday is especially poignant for us here in Coventry as it falls on the 14th of November, a date which 81 years ago changed not only the fate of the Cathedral but the face of our city forever.

We remember all of those who fought so valiantly to save our Cathedral and the wider city. We remember all of those who lost their lives and all of those who were injured. We remember all of those left homeless and those who lost everything.

We remember too the kindness and compassion shown by people not only across Coventry but the nation as a whole. We remember the determination of the city to rebuild and rise like a phoenix from the ashes. We remember in all we do the words of Provost Howard and strive for a kinder, simpler, more Christ-child-like sort of world.

We remember.

Brilliant!
