What can you see?
Both ancient and modern, the magnificent 900 year old Chichester Cathedral has treasures from every age, from medieval stone carvings to world famous contemporary artworks. You can visit every day and all year with free entry. The Cathedral is a living church whose spire dominates the horizon for miles around.

Entry is free and the Cathedral is open every day all year round. You can join a free guided tour for small groups which run at 11.15am and 2.30pm from Monday to Saturday – tours last about an hour and there’s no need to book. There are a number of special trails for children of all ages to help them learn and have fun while exploring this wonderful building.
The Cathedral runs a vibrant calendar of events including exhibitions, talks, lectures, lunchtime and evening concerts, many of which are free of charge. You are very welcome to drop in and join one of the daily services, or just wander freely in this extraordinary and atmospheric building.
