A Warm Welcome from the Dean of Bristol
Bristol Cathedral is set in the heart of the lively and diverse city of Bristol and its coastal and rural surroundings. Bristol Cathedral is open to everyone, and we hope that you will find a warm welcome here, whether you chose to tour our historic building, enjoy the peace and calm of our chapels and garden, attend an event or exhibition, or join us for worship.
We treasure our heritage, especially our wonderful tradition of choral music which everyone can enjoy at no charge.
We join with our Bishop and Diocese in seeking to live out our values of openness, generosity, creativity, and bravery as we follow Jesus, serve others, and transform communities. We are an open and inclusive community that seeks to reach out to love and serve those around us.
Do come and see us!
