Guildford Cathedral

About

Guildford Cathedral is one of the town’s iconic landmarks and a unique twentieth century Grade II* listed building. Reaching skywards, the Cathedral stands on a commanding spot on Stag Hill, just moments from main transport routes and fifteen minutes’ walk from the town centre.

The Cathedral seeks to serve the people of Guildford and Surrey and is open to all, for free, 365 days a year. The interior of the Cathedral is a revelation, and provides an unrivalled and memorable moment of awe and wonder.

It upholds the Christian tradition of daily choral music and offers services each day of the week, from morning prayer to evensong. On Sundays the Cathedral Eucharist is a celebration of music, prayer and liturgy: all are welcome.

Across the weeks and months the Cathedral offers a varied programme of family-friendly activities, outreach for the elderly, schools visits and workshops, arts, events and volunteering opportunities.

Seasons Café & Kitchen - in the grounds of the Cathedral - offers a wonderful space in which to enjoy a drink, snack or hot meal with friends or colleagues. It is also a licenced venue suitable for private hire.

The Cathedral Shop offers a wide range of unique and interesting gifts, souvenirs, toys and greeting cards, as well as specialist music CDs and books.

Visitors are welcome to join us throughout the year, including for services during the main festivals of Easter, Pentecost and Advent and Christmas. With free parking, ramps for wheelchair users, Guided and Tower Tours, space for children to explore the grounds and self-guided tours there is so much to see and do.
