Can I take photos inside Durham Cathedral?
Durham Cathedral welcomes respectful non-flash visitor photography both inside and outside the Cathedral. There are a few restrictions due to our life as a working church, please visit our photography page for more information.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are allowed in the Cloister and Cathedral grounds but not inside. You can access the Cloister from the North Bailey entrance, which avoids walking through the Cathedral church.
Guide dogs, hearing dogs and support dogs are welcome throughout the Cathedral and Open Treasure exhibition.
Can I bring in food and water?
Please don’t bring food or drink with you into the Cathedral, apart from bottled water.
Do you have a cafe or restaurant?
Yes, we have the Undercroft Restaurant off the Cloister, serving snacks, drinks and hot meals.
Where are the toilets?
Accessible toilets are available beyond the Cathedral Shop and Undercroft Restaurant, which lie off the Cloister. There are also toilets half-way round the Open Treasure exhibition.
