Gloucester Cathedral

Gloucester

A warm welcome and 1000 years of history awaits you at Gloucester Cathedral, one of the most spectacular medieval buildings in the country.

With plenty to do for all ages and whatever the weather, the Cathedral is world famous for its extraordinary fan-vaulted Cloister which appears as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. A stained glass window the size of a tennis court, the tomb of the murdered King Edward II and the mysterious Whispering Gallery are just a few of the treasures that visitors will discover whilst here.

Make the most of your visit by going behind the scenes on a guided tour of the hidden underground Crypt or up the 269 steps to the top of the tower to take in breath taking views of the city and surrounding countryside. The interactive Tribune Gallery tells the story of how Gloucester Cathedral was built and provides fun for all the family including, dressing up and the chance to make your own gruesome gargoyle.

The Monk’s Kitchen eatery is a great place to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and a delicious snack, lunch or cream tea, and the Cathedral shop is brimming with souvenirs and unique gifts.
