Winchester Cathedral

Winchester Cathedral offers a unique heritage of the life of the English nation; its stones tell the stories of Kings and Queens, statesmen and politicians. But here too you can find the loving labour and imprint of monks and pilgrims, writers and artists and working men and women.

Community has been at the heart of the Cathedral's identity since the Benedictine Monastery was established here over a thousand years ago. Today, Winchester Cathedral is home to an active Christian community, seeking to offer a warm Benedictine welcome to all its visitors and worshippers, as though they were Christ himself.

The Cathedral is also a visitor attraction, a venue for music and the arts, with a diverse programme of concerts, exhibitions, educational talks, family activities and more. Welcoming more than 300,000 visitors a year, the Cathedral places worship at the centre of its life.
