Connect with your Cathedral

July & August 2022

This summer, we'll be offering a programme of events which aim to promote mindfulness and mental and physical wellbeing for all. Gloucester Cathedral has been a place of peace, prayer and contemplation for centuries, and in our busy 21st-century world, taking a moment to pause is as important as ever.

As part of this, you are invited to...

  • Join a 1000-year-long tradition and walk the Labyrinth between Tuesday 2 August – Friday 26 August, a winding path used for meditation and prayer. This symbolic journey represents the path to God, enlightenment or your deepest self

  • Immerse yourself in mesmerising music as part of sound bathing sessions in the Quire and Lady Chapel in July and August

  • Take part in hands-on, creative sessions, including learning to carve with the Stonemason Team in July

...and lots more. Further details about all of these events as part of our summer programme can be found below.

This programme ties in with Visit Gloucester's 'Serenity in the City' campaign that aims to directly contribute to the wellbeing of our visitors and residents, connecting people to the built environment and each other.

    We are sorry that due to limited space, parking in the Cathedral Close is restricted to pass holders only.

    There are eight disabled parking spaces which are for use by Blue Badge holders on a first come first served basis.

    However, there are several public car parks within easy walking distance of the Cathedral.

  • Arriving by Public Transport

    The Cathedral is located in Gloucester Town Centre, so the best way to get here is by public transport.
