Be inspired by the peace and beauty of one of Britain’s finest
medieval cathedrals, set within eight acres of lawn and surrounded by
historic buildings and museums in the beautiful Cathedral Close. This
spectacular building is unique in being built almost entirely in one
architectural style, Early English Gothic and has Britain’s tallest
spire (123m/404ft) plus numerous famous literary connections.
Enjoy the warm welcome of our volunteers on a free guided tour of the
Cathedral or discover the world’s finest original Magna Carta, Europe’s
oldest working clock and the stunning living water font designed by
sculptor William Pye on your own.
Explore the roof spaces on a tower
tour, climbing 332 steps to the base of the spire to enjoy the
magnificent views across Salisbury (tickets available online in advance
or on site on the day). Or just relax in our Refectory restaurant with a
choice of home-made treats and a fabulous view of the spire.
Our famous boy and girl choristers sing daily services with Evensong
at 5.30pm Monday to Saturday or 4.30pm on Sunday. The Cathedral also
hosts a wide variety of special events throughout the year, notably art
exhibitions and concerts – full details are available online at
