Events and Special Services - March 2012
Listed below are the events taking place in the Cathedral during March 2012. Regular services are not affected unless otherwise indicated. You can also download the full service schedule.
Please note that finishing times are approximate. Sometimes, with a service, it depends on the length of the sermon.
Preparations for all services and events will restrict access to most of the Cathedral from between 30 to 90 minutes before the time of starting. Equally, these restrictions will be in place for some time after the service or event finishes.
Everyone may attend any service held in the Cathedral. However, many of the events, such as concerts, require a ticket for which there may be a charge.
If you are planning to visit the Cathedral on a day when a special service or event is on, you are advised to contact us directly to make sure that you are not disappointed.
