Canterbury Cathedral

Every visitor is welcomed at Canterbury Cathedral. Whatever your interest, there’s something for everyone. Whether that’s English history, beautiful architecture, music, stained glass windows, royalty, gardens, or monastic life. You can join a guided tour or do your own thing. And if needed, there’s always one of our Guides or Stewards to answer your queries.

We're dog friendly!
Visitors can bring their well-behaved four-legged friends into the Cathedral building and grounds.

Dogs must be on a short lead at all times.
Owners must clean up after their dogs.
Unfortunately, dogs aren’t able to accompany their owners on a guided tour or mini talk.
Only assistance dogs are permitted at services.
Dog bins are available.
