Visitor Tickets and Tours

Visitor Tickets

We recommend booking visitor tickets in advance, although tickets can be purchased on arrival at the Cathedral.

We also offer the option to include a visit to The Stained Glass Museum, housed upstairs in the Cathedral.

Pre-booking is advised if you want to join any of our tours as places are limited. These include Octagon Tower Tours, West Tower Experience, Ground Floor Tours and Stories of Ely Cathedral.
