“…it has been a privilege to volunteer in such a magnificent place. This Cathedral is so much more than its fascinating history, it is a living, vibrant, spiritual space that deserves to be shared with all.”
– Head Volunteer Guide
Bristol Cathedral is here for everyone. We are committed to increasing the ways people can participate, serving our community and preserving this precious building for future generations.
We receive no regular funding from the Church of England or the government to maintain the historic fabric, develop our facilities or programmes.
We rely on the generosity and kindness of our congregation, volunteers, visitors and supporters in order to continue our work and remain open to all, with no charge for entry.
Whatever way you choose to support Bristol Cathedral, we are so grateful.
Thank you for your on-going support.
