Everyone is Welcome

February at Guildford Cathedral continues the year with warmth, reflection, and moments of quiet beauty. As winter lingers, the Cathedral offers spaces for contemplation alongside uplifting music and welcoming community gatherings as we begin the season of Lent.

The month brings a rich blend of worship, culture, and creativity, with choral services that inspire, atmospheric concerts that lift the spirits, and opportunities to pause and reflect. From moving musical performances to thoughtfully crafted services, February invites visitors to engage heart and mind.

Families are warmly encouraged to take part in relaxed, child-friendly events such as Cathedral Tots and Storytime at the Cathedral, while quieter services offer a chance for stillness and prayer.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, connection, or a peaceful moment away from the everyday, February at Guildford Cathedral provides a gentle and enriching continuation of the year.
