Canterbury Cathedral

Where history, faith and community meet. Canterbury Cathedral sits at the heart of English history, with over 1,400 years of stories for you to discover.

As part of Canterbury's UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cathedral is a must-see.

Whether seeking out stone dragons and grotesques, admiring awesome architecture and stunning stained-glass windows, including the oldest glass in Britain, marvelling at carved tombs, or exploring the Cathedral's medieval Cloisters and green spaces, there's something for everyone.

You might even be lucky enough to spot the peregrine falcons - the fastest animals in the world! - that make the Cathedral grounds their home.

Discover unique artefacts from the Cathedral’s incredible 1,400 years of history up close in our exhibitions, including the armour of the fearsome medieval warrior, The Black Prince. And we also welcome well-behaved dogs inside the Cathedral! (T&Cs apply)

Your annual pass means you pay once and can visit all year, and kids under 18 get free entry every day (T&Cs apply). It is always free to attend one of the daily services, and don't forget if you're local, you can apply for a Cathedral Pass.
