Plan the perfect visit for your group
We welcome groups to the Cathedral. Enjoy a private Highlights Tour, explore our medieval library, venture up the 269 steps to the top of the 15th century tower or visit the works yard of the talented stonemasons. Whatever you’re interested in, our Visitor Experience Team can build the perfect visit for your group
All group visitors receive a complimentary walk around guide and accompanying international translation (we currently have English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Czech, Romanian, Danish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Russian translations available).
Guided tours are only available in English, but groups are welcome to bring along their own interpreter. Groups are recommended to bring one translator per 15 visitors.
The busy nature of the Cathedral means that it is essential for every group to book at least three weeks in advance to secure a slot on the diary and to allow for guides to be scheduled. All of our guides are volunteers, so it is better to have as much notice as possible.
Whilst we make every effort to welcome everyone to the Cathedral, we cannot always accommodate unbooked groups and may have to turn them away if they are likely to be disruptive to other events taking place.
