2024 Events
September 6, 2023Welcome to Southwell Minster
For more than 900 years Southwell Minster has been opening its doors to welcome visitors, pilgrims and worshippers. We have placed hospitality in the name of Jesus Christ as being at the heart of what we want to offer the 100,000, or so, people, who come in a typical year. As well as being a beautiful and fascinating historic building, Southwell Minster is a community of clergy, other workers and many worshippers, contributing to the public life and private lives of the town and the whole diocese.
We are delighted that the Chapter House has reopened, after the installation of a new cantilever lift which provides full access to this glorious part of the Minster.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome inside the Minster, its grounds and gardens.
New Cathedrals Measure: Consultation
Under the Cathedrals Measure 2021, all English Cathedrals are required to become charities registered with the Charity Commission.
New Constitution and Statutes have to be written.
Now that the Charity Commission have approved the drafts there has to be a formal consultation.
Worship Online
The Minster’s worshipping community extends beyond the doors of the building, across the diocese and beyond. Our Sunday worship continues online – please join us for one of our live-streamed services if you cannot make it in person.
