Public Worship during the Covid-19 pandemic

On Monday 11 January Chapter reluctantly made the decision to close the Cathedral to the public whilst the Sunday Sung Eucharist is live streamed at 10am. Numbers wishing to attend in person are too high and we need to make sure everyone is as safe as possible.

We continue to be open daily from 8.30am until 4.30pm (11am until 4.30pm on Sunday) and all other services remain open to the public, as numbers attending are small and wide distancing is easily achieved.

We are very conscious that the new virus brings with it an increased risk, and so we urge anyone who has any degree of vulnerability through age or other causes to join us for services online rather than coming in person.

Please do join in our online worship, come and find some peace in the Cathedral and remember that the Cathedral community continue to pray daily for a swift end to this pandemic.


Service Schedule

Church will look and feel a bit different as we ensure the safety of everyone. Please arrive early as it may take a little longer than usual to seat everyone in socially-distanced contact groups.

If you have particular access requirements, please check our access web pages for information, or contact us directly.
