Lancaster Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Lancaster, which stretches from Preston to the Scottish border.
The Cathedral serves the Diocese as a focal point and seat of the Bishop; it serves the local parish community in central Lancaster; it serves the non-Catholic residents of north Lancashire as an historic site. It also hosts many concerts and events throughout the year.

Visitors to the Cathedral are always welcome. The church is open 8:30am-6pm each day, with occasional exceptions. |
