Not a well known Cathedral may be, but well worth a visit! This is a lovely Cathedral and at the time of my visit there were Peregrine Falcons nesting in one of the towers. No admission but donation requested. See their website for the many events. More

By their nature, Cathedrals tend to be rather similar. Naves, screens, organs, etc. However, Chichester was a little gem for several reasons. Firstly, admission was free, which was a very pleasant surprise. Secondly, this cathedral is smaller and most consistent (ie built generally all at once rather than over many years) than many, which gave it a comfortable and homely... More

I love old churches, cathedrals etc. so a bit bias. Chichester Cathedral is truly beautiful and I would definitely revisit, if I return to Chichester. More

We were on holiday in the area, so really waited to see inside the cathedral, We entered though the doors, There were people to met and Greet you but our faces didn't fit as nobody moved toward us, so I took a leaflet and we continued our visit. It was a very wonderful Cathedral with modern and old mixed together... More

It's a must see, if you visit Chichester it would be one of the highlights of anyone's visit. Beautiful, free to visit but do make a donation, you would feel so guilty if you didn't as all staff and volunteers on site are incredibly welcoming and helpful, supplying you with a leaflet, answering everyone's questions with patience and good humour....

Free entry (although it would be unfair not to make a donation to support the work of the Cathedral). Lovely shop and Cloisters cafe with garden - and peregrine falcons nesting in one of the towers each Spring, with RSPB people on site with telescopes (and there's a webcam run by RSPB). Regular, free lunchtime concerts in the Cathedral. Plus... More
