‘All is Calm, All is Bright’ – Your Cathedral at Night
Thursday 12 December, Monday 16 December and Thursday 19 December, 7.30pm to 9:30pm.

After the sun has set the sparkle on our trees is that little bit more special. Come and spend your evening with us, a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie in hand, in your Cathedral at Night. Explore the building with members of our team providing a Christmas themed insight into its history, and enjoy an exclusive evening viewing of the Christmas Tree Festival too.

*Well-behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome in the Cathedral during the Christmas period, including to the Christmas Tree Festival and Christmas Fayre. During particularly busy times we ask owners to be mindful of the limited space in the cloisters for the comfort of all of our visitors.
