Cathedral Tours

Explore the rich history and treasures of the cathedral from its Saxon origins to the present day with our knowledgeable guides. Set off on a journey in and around it to enjoy architecture, artefacts and anecdotes and learn how it has developed through time to the church that you see on your visit.

Tours run Monday to Saturday at 11.05 am and 2.15 pm and last approximately 45 minutes. Tickets are available from the shop and cost £5 per person.

Tours for groups of 10 or more can be arranged at other times to suit. Please contact the Visits Office for further details on 01432 374202 or [email protected]

If you are interested in joining one of the cathedral tours it is very important you make contact with the Visits Office first to ensure that tours are taking place that day. Sometimes, even at very short notice, tours have to be cancelled owing to other events taking place in the cathedral.

--------------------------

Cathedral Close Tours

On selected days we run Cathedral Close Tours in the place of daily tours. Guests can discover the medieval characters that sit across the North Porch entrance, the lessons of the wood and stone carvings in the St John’s Walk , the magnificent cloisters of the Vicars’ Choral and the intriguing West Front which tells the history of the Cathedral in one glance. Please visit the Welcome Desk or Cathedral Shop to find out if an outside tour is running today. Click here to see dates of Cathedral Close Tours running during Three Choirs Festival 2022.

Hereford Cathedral is fully covered by CCTV for the safety and security of our visitors, volunteers and staff.
