Group Visits

Planning your Group Visit

We warmly welcome all groups, including special interest groups, language school groups and organised tours. 

Our friendly and knowledgeable team is here to help you organise and plan your day. We are always happy to answer questions you may have and to discuss your visit in detail.

What you need to know at a glance

• Please note that group bookings must be at least two weeks in advance. This will help us manage the number of visitors in in the Cathedral and avoid clashes between your group, visiting schools and those taking part in our public programmes, services and events.
• The size of your group should be a minimum of 15.
• Groups arriving at the Cathedral without pre-booking or arriving late risk not being admitted; priority is always given to booked groups especially in the high season (May-Sept and Dec).

To book your visit, just complete and return the Group Booking Form. Upon receipt of your booking form, arrangements will be made for your group and a confirmation email with booking reference will be sent to you.

The bookings office is open Monday to Thursday from 8.30am to 2.00pm.
