Join us on a bespoke tour of the upper level gallery at the east end of the cathedral and marvel at views formerly only available to the Benedictine monks prior to the Reformation. We’ll explore how the gallery, and indeed the whole building, was designed to reflect the liturgical practices of medieval belief. Even the stones of the building had their devotional purpose!

The gallery has only recently been made available for public access.

The tour lasts approximately one hour, half of which will be spent at the gallery level.

Please be aware that access to and from the upper level gallery involves spiral staircases and is unfortunately not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Make your way to the front entrance of The Hostry. Take a left, go through the shop and into the Cathedral at the western end of the southern aisle where you will find the Society steward and tour guides.
