A Place of Welcome

Guildford Cathedral is open to all, 365 days a year (366 in a leap year), offering a place of stillness, prayer, pilgrimage, and daily choral worship.

As a vibrant Christian community, we celebrate over 1,000 services each year, supported by magnificent music from our choir. There is no admission charge, and you are warmly invited to join us.

 

The regular daily pattern of Morning Prayer, Holy Communion and Choral Evensong is at the centre of Cathedral life.
