Starting in Autumn 2022, we look forward to welcoming you to our talks in a brand new hybrid format! Attendees can join most of our talks live either in person or online via Zoom Webinar, and recordings will be available to those who cannot attend on the night. This means that our live audience, wherever they are joining us from, can join in with questions and discussion with our speakers.

The Cathedral’s rich heritage of learning inspires the work which goes on here today.

We are pleased to be able to offer a rich programme of adult learning events designed to explored faith, history and culture from many angles. Each term we offer a variety of talks, study days, courses and reading groups in a welcoming and stimulating learning environment.
