Welcome to Chichester Cathedral

Following the announcement on Monday 23rd March by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Chichester Cathedral has closed until further notice. We have reviewed our programme and have made the difficult decision to postpone or cancel many of our upcoming events.

We have developed new resources for worship and learning, all which can be found on this website.

#BlackOutTuesday. Learn , pray and act.

Following the death of George Floyd, we are encouraging everyone to learn, pray and act in response to the racist violence we are seeing in the United States and which is present in every society, including our own.

Today marks the start of #VolunteersWeek, and whilst we are unable to be together, we want to take the time to say thank you. Read a message from The Dean of Chichester on our website.

Join us this morning at 10.00am for our online service for #Petecost - led by The Bishop of Chichester, The Right Reverend Dr Martin Warner. The service will be available to watch throughout the day if you're unable to join us this morning. The service will be streamed via the Cathedral website.

On Sunday 7th June our Precentor, Reverend Canon Tim Schofield, will lead his last service online - as he and his wife Julie retire after 14 years. Tim reflects upon his time at #ChichesterCathedral in a new article available on our website (link in bio).

Today would have marked the launch of our 2020 Festival of Flowers. We would like to thank all of those involved in the Festival and will be recognising their efforts by sharing videos and photos from 2018’s Festival across social media and on our Instagram Stories throughout the day.

For today's #TakeoverTuesdays we'll be joined by The Precentor of #Chichester Cathedral, The Reverend Canon Tim Schofield. As usual, if you have any questions or thoughts, please leave them in the comments. #TopicTuesday

For this week's #ThrowbackThursday we move outside of the Cathedral to #Chichester's Market Cross (or Chichester Cross). According to our friends at @noviummuseum : "It is believed to have been built in 1501 by Bishop Edward Story, who paid ten pounds to the Mayor of Chichester for the ground on which it is built."

Join us this Thursday for an online service for Ascension Day - led by Cathedral Precentor, The Reverend Canon Tim Schofield. You can stream the service via the Cathedral website at 10.00am (link in bio). #Chichester #Cathedral #ChichesterCathedral
