Friends Events

The Friends arrange a programme of events every year. These include lectures relating to the history of the Cathedral and other topics related to the Cathedral, private tours to places of interest, and parties in the summer and at Christmas.

We aim to bring together members of the Friends who have a common interest in the Cathedral. We also welcome members to bring along their own friends, and hope that some of these will also be interested in joining us.

Sadly, due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we have had to make the decision to cancel the Summer Party and Friends' Day.
