Join one of Bristol Cathedral's dedicated tour guides as they take you on a journey spanning 900 years of history, heritage, and architecture at the extraordinary Bristol Cathedral!

From the tale of St Jordan of Bristol (yes, Bristol has a saint!) through to the ordination of the first women priests in 1994, joining a Bristol Cathedral Highlights Tour is the best and most fascinating way to get to know one of the grandest buildings in the city of Bristol!

The tours last between 45-60 minutes, and your guide will meet you inside the Cathedral at the Welcome Area.

The entrance to Bristol Cathedral is level access. However, some areas of the Cathedral included in the highlights tours involve uneven floors and steps, particularly when accessing the Norman Chapter House. Sensible footwear is advised.
