**Please note that due to Hereford now being in Tier 3 from Thursday 31 December, the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibition is closed until further notice**

Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibition 

Monday – Saturday, 10 am – 3 pm 

  • We kindly ask that if you are displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 that you refrain from visiting us
  • To access the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library, visitors will be asked to arrive at the main entrance of the cathedral and follow the one-way system through the building into the Chapter House Garden. 
  • There will be a hand sanitising station at the entrance to the exhibition that we would ask all visitors to use before entering 
  • We will be taking a name and contact number or email from one person in each party to support with NHS Test and Trace
  • We will be limiting numbers of visitors into the exhibition to support with social distancing. On arrival at the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library, you may be asked to wait at the door as other visitors move through the exhibition. 
  • To support with the one-way system and to prevent crowding, we have opened the cloister doors at the end of the exhibition so that visitors will exit to the West End of the cathedral. 
  • Currently, visitors do not need to book tickets in advance of their visit. Instead these can be purchased on the day from the member of staff at the Exhibition entrance. We can take card, cash or smartphone payments, but cards are preferable if possible. 
  • The one-way route through the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library is easy to follow, but one of our volunteers may ask you to wait outside the Mappa Mundi chamber for other visitors to move on to ensure everyone’s visit is comfortable. 
  • Volunteers will be welcoming visitors to the exhibition and helping to control visitor numbers. We kindly ask that visitors respect social distancing guidelines throughout their visit. 
  • We regret that we are unable to distribute any leaflets or interpretation literature within the exhibition at this time. Information can be found online here themappamundi.co.uk and a range of books and souvenirs are available to purchase from the Cathedral Shop. 
  • Our touchscreens may be unavailable for use to avoid any health risks 
  • If you are looking to plan a larger group visit with individuals from outside of your household or bubble, we kindly ask that you contact the Cathedral Office ([email protected]) in advance so that we can support your visit.
