Open Gardens

Visitors will be able to explore the Chapter House, Cloister garden, Canon’s garden, Dean’s garden and the Bishop’s garden at their own leisure with our team of volunteer garden guides on hand in each garden to answer any questions.

This is a self-led event where you are welcome to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful gardens at your own pace. Why not visit at the cathedral cafe afterwards for a refreshing drink and cake?

We will be offering two sessions throughout the day:

• Morning Session: 10am – 12.30pm
• Afternoon Session: 12.30pm – 3.30pm (last admission 3pm)
• You are welcome to arrive any time within these sessions
• It typically takes around 40 minutes to view the gardens, but this event is designed to work at your own pace
• Please ensure that you book for the correct time slot as we will not be able to change this once your ticket has been booked

Accessibility Information: Chapter House & Cloisters Garden are both easily accessible for wheelchairs. Canon’s Garden, Dean’s Garden and Bishop’s Garden have some areas with sloping lawns, gravel paths and a few steps so are less accessible, but more accessible routes throughout the gardens can be suggested.
