Gloucester Cathedral – Heritage Open Days Event

Formerly the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, founded in the 11th century, the Cathedral features Norman pillars in the nave, the elaborate tomb of Edward II, exquisite 14th century fan vaulting, the 15th century tower and the magnificent Great East Window.

The Whispering Gallery was created when a passageway was built behind the Great East Window and gives the opportunity to view it up close. The Gallery will be open for viewing on Saturday between 10.30am and 4.00pm.

On Saturday 10th, all tours and attractions will be FREE of charge. Tower Tours at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Saturday are by ticket only which will be available to pre-book from Monday 5th September in person from the Cathedral Shop or on 01452 229813.

On Saturday 10th, there will be a poetry tour at 11.00am.

Pleas note that the Cathedral is wheelchair accessible but the Whispering Gallery and Tower Tours are not.

This event is one of many making up the Gloucester History Festival and Heritage Open Days.
