Gloucester Cathedral Concerts 2025

A lovely place to visit, lots of history. With plenty of exploring to be had.Plenty around outside too. Entry by donation, £5 is a good start. Find the wall Harry Potter walked through. 👍

This is a brilliant Cathedral to visit as you can access the areas above the niave and the high altar. The whispering gallery us magical. Be sure you check out the graves of Edward III and William the Conquerors son, Robert of Normandy who captured Jerusalem in the first Crusade. Edward III is of course famous for his murder with a red hot poker!

We made a special trip to Gloucester on a Sunday specifically to visit the cathedral. Ensure you know the visitation times. We expected to wait after Sunday morning service but even later on the day we were being asked to visit after 4 pm. I'm incredibly glad we did not give up! Spending over an hour at Gloucester Cathedral was an awe-inspiring experience. The magnificent architecture, with its soaring ceilings, intricate marble work, and stunning stained glass windows, left me utterly captivated. The cathedral's beauty and historical significance make it an absolute must-see for any visitor to Gloucester (not just Harry Potter fans). It is truly breathtaking interior with fascinating history, and peaceful atmosphere. There are informative displays and few (clearly knowledgeable) guides who were happy to answer questions. £5 voluntary donation per person is more than fair, as it helps maintain this architectural gem. The cathedral's inclusive approach, allowing visitors to explore without a mandatory fee, is commendable. Gloucester Cathedral with awe-inspiring beauty and welcoming atmosphere make it a true gem in the heart of Gloucester.

a very beautiful medieval cathedral, said to be the resting place of King Edward II. Also of harry potter fame. Very quiet for silent retreat. There is a small entrance to second floor to take in the sights.

What a beautiful cathedral. The cloisters were quite stunning to walk around. Out seems about the same size as Canterbury but less crowded. Didn't have time to see the whole place. Would definition recommend if you are in the area.
