Welcome from the Dean of Chichester
Nestled beneath the South Downs in the heart of the historic Roman city of Chichester, West Sussex, the Cathedral is a place of prayer, community and welcome for all - whether you come to worship, on pilgrimage, for music, or simply to explore.
Within these ancient walls you will find over nine centuries of history, inspiring architecture, beautiful art both ancient and modern, and a living tradition of faith. Our renowned choir and rich musical life lie at the heart of the Cathedral’s worship
Coming to the Cathedral offers to everyone an experience of beauty and transcendence, not only through the daily services that are celebrated here, but also concerts and special events, and simply through experience of the building and its surroundings.
The Cathedral is also a space for reflection, where it is possible to pause, light a candle, to find stillness and space, and to encounter God in the midst of everyday life.
Whatever brings you through our doors, we look forward to welcoming you.
