St Albans Cathedral Concerts

St Albans Cathedral is a remarkable gem that exudes centuries of history and architectural splendor. Stepping into this sacred space, I was immediately struck by the grandeur of its towering walls and intricate details. The peaceful ambiance enveloped me as I marveled at the stunning stained glass windows that bathed the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors. The serene beauty of the cathedral provided a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to reflect and find solace in its sacred surroundings. St Albans Cathedral is not just a place of worship, but a sanctuary of peace and inspiration that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.

St. Albans is a beautiful cathedral with long history, that is worth a 20-30 minute wander through. There are informative signs throughout showing key highlights of the cathedral, such as the medieval mosaics, doors, and ceilings, as well as a timeline of key events just before the entrance. It is free to visit, though donations are appreciated. Facility-wise, they have a very nice cafe, clean toilets, and a gift shop.

Such a beautiful church. I love the 'Bayeux' type tapestry of the beginnings of the building of the Cathedral over 100's of years. Great history! A very friendly and relaxed place. Very welcoming to visitors and local folk. And a super café with keen and helpful staff.

Visited St Albans Cathedral on Bank Holiday Easter Monday, what a beautiful place it is. You are free to walk around the Cathedral and grounds, there is no charge (although donations are encouraged understandably). Even if you are not religious, to be in this space is incredibly moving, the architecture and detail are astounding. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our visit, albeit short, here. Wonderful architecture and decor. Very welcoming staff in the entrance shop & café. There is no charge to visit, but they do suggest a donation. We visited on the day Hertfordshire University graduation ceremonies were in full swing, so the place was heaving with everyone in their finery - it added to the atmosphere rather than spoil the occasion, even if some slight restrictions were , necessarily, in place for a period. The website has a virtual to check out before you go.
