Exeter Cathedral Concerts 2025

What a stunning piece of history and Engineering to wander around and marvelette for an hour or two when you visit the town of Exeter. So much history and so much Beauty it really does have to be seen to be believed. Some nice local offerings in the shop and the volunteer staff for all friendly and Keen to help.

Exeter Cathedral stands as a magnificent testament to centuries of history and architectural splendor. Its towering spires and intricate facade captivate visitors from afar, drawing them closer to explore its grandeur. As a tourist, viewing the cathedral from outside unveils a breathtaking sight, showcasing its impressive Gothic design and intricate stone carvings. Whether admiring its facade bathed in sunlight or illuminated against the evening sky, the cathedral's exterior exudes a sense of awe and wonder, making it a must-see attraction in Exeter.

This was the best architectural work I have ever seen in my entire life. The dates are amazing! The welcome and tours conducted by the staff was very enriching. At least I had a bit of the church history in England. I am sure I will go back again. This is a very rich heritage.

A really fascinating and free visit. This is a massive cathedral with some truly ancient parts and sights to see and read about. For anyone into history, religious or not, this is a very interesting visit. It is a beautiful site and worth the time to walk around.

At the moment during January, entry is free but of course they appreciate voluntary donations which you can do by card or cash. They do offer free guided tours or you can have an audio guide but that waffles on a bit. We were lucky to meet one of the guides with free time and he was interesting. The original part was built in Norman times (1114) and the rest was added 1270-1328. There are numerous memorials with a high proportion of Devon soldiers. Numerous historic items can be found with the original mechanics of the large clock above the gift shop on view. The organ pipes are enormous being over 10mtrs tall. Well worth a visit. For only the next couple of days there is a light show on in the evenings.
