Opening times Visiting Hereford Cathedral From Friday 10 December, face coverings must be worn throughout Hereford Cathedral by visitors, people attending events and those participating in an act of worship. Masks may be removed when singing, if you wish, and are not required for those leading the service. Test and Trace sign in sheets and QR codes are available for those who wish to use them and hand sanitiser is available throughout the building. We will be encouraging all of those visiting the cathedral to observe social distancing where possible and, as a result of this, will be making some changes to the way that services and events organised by the cathedral are managed.
