For over 1000 years, people have been gathering in this holy place to offer their prayers and praise to Almighty God. As they still do every day. It’s difficult to tell from a website, but here we are located right in the centre of the city, surrounded by shops and businesses, with people passing our doors as they go about their daily life. Many of those people stop by to light a candle, say a prayer, or spend a moment of stillness and calm.

Great place. The cathedral cafe is open, and Covid safe, lovely open peaceful spacious place, more tables than when I last visited, looks good. The coffee & food (breakfast and lunch -they close by 4) very reasonably priced considering how nice it is. It’s the the more modern bit of the building accessed via the gateway under the trees. I think you can get to it from inside the cathedral too. Looks like the shop element is on hold in favour of creating space for the cafe - but a few souvenirs available.

Well worth a visit, unique building, at the moment there is a little Christmas Fair inside. Just lovely.
