Chester Cathedral Concerts

A very interesting cathedral to visit. The cafe is great in a large adjoining hall. The staff were very friendly and the quality of the food was excellent, plus it was very busy even at 3pm. At the moment they have a curious array of glass oddities from a local shop. Great to look at but not cheap.

My wife and I enjoyed exploring Chester Cathedral during our stay in the historic city. Even from outside on the main shopping streets, the tall spires caught our eye and attracted us to pay a visit. Pre-Christmas, the visit was not free and required modest fee for the tree exhibit. Stepping inside was like going back in time. Tall stone arches rose high above us and it was remarkably quiet (maybe the entry fee or the cold day). The sunlight streaming through colorful stained glass windows was beautiful. Few friendly volunteers were there to help us learn more. The special exhibits for Christmas added holiday cheer, like a hallway filled with decorated trees. It was fascinating to learn about the building's 900 year history. Everything was well taken care of so visitors could appreciate the architecture and art up close. Whether interested in history, art or just looking for a peaceful place, the cathedral is worth a stop. Even without being religious, this place gave a sense of the past. The friendly staff made our visit more interesting too. Chester Cathedral should be on any visitor's list while exploring this historic town.

It was a great opportunity to visit the amazing and eye-charming architecture of Chester Cathedral, surprisingly it was free for all visitors. The staff was kind and helpful, it was huge and had a lot of religious and historical inscriptions, and also rich in archaeological writings and symbols. It impressed me and I recommend visiting it to all those coming to the city of Chester.

Finding Ones Inner Peace Our first stop in Chester was the Cathedral Church of Christ & the Blessed Virgin Mary with roots dating back to 1100. As we took a stroll through the sacred premises, a sense of peace and tranquility washed through us as we admired the washed out cobble stone floors and walls. What caught our attention the most was the beautiful stainless glass which glimmered as it caught the random rays of sun. Keep your eyes peeled as portions of the Cathedral have inscriptions dedicated to various individuals of significance. Some might even consider just relaxing in the garden of remembrance as you soak in the warm sun rays and lush greenery. More photos & videos are available on IG & Youtube ( monk3yseendo )

As Cathedrals go, as one would expect, vast and impressive. With some delightful embellishments of a non- religious nature.Not least the cafe . Austere, impersonal, and ,as a feat of engineering, remarkable. But I prefer the intimacy of the original cathedral, the church of St. John ,which I recommend
