Chester Cathedral

Visitors to Chester Cathedral will be made most welcome, and encouraged to share in the beauty of this historic building. The most complete monastic complex still standing in the UK, the site has been a place of worship for over 1000 years. Originally founded as a Benedictine Monastery, it was later rededicated as the Cathedral Church of Christ. Today the Cathedral is open to visitors and worshippers, and is a haven of tranquility in the bustling city.

All visitors can explore the Cathedral with the help of guidePORT, a hands free system detailing highlights throughout the building. Groups of 5 or more can enjoy a professional guided tour (advanced booking essential).
