Enjoyed our visit to this cathedral. King John and Prince Arthur and stone carving from the houses of York and Lancaster and Catherine or Aragon are wonderful to see. And the stained glass is beautiful. Don't miss the walk outside and along the river. All so beautiful.

Saturday morning 29th October and we visited the most amazing building that is Worcester Cathedral. There is no entrance fee here, however visitors are asked to make a donation, which goes towards the maintenance, upkeep and repair of this historic building. At the entrance we were give a guide to the Cathedral, it was possible to download a guide via the App and QR codes also provided information. On entering the Cathedral one of the first thing that drew our attention and that was the sheer height of the place. The arched ceiling supported by intricate ornate masonry was just jaw dropping. We walked across the Nave of the Cathedral and found ourselves at the entrance to the Medieval Cloisters, along which we walked. This took us past the Herb Garden, the Millennium Window, the 12th century Chapter House, there were a number of old bells lined up along the way. The Millennium Window consists of 21 etched episodes, both biblical and historical, that are relevant to Worcester. Alongside the Chapter House is the Cloister Cafe. The 19th Pulpit is close by the entrance to the Cloister. Not to be missed is the delightful Jesus Chapel between the entrance to the tower and the Beauchamp Tomb. The wooden carved altar screen is spectacular. Throughout the Cathedral there are a number of tombs most notable are the tombs of King John, Sir John Beauchamp, Griffith Ryce and the Wyldes. Sadly at the time of our visit we were unable to enter the Tower as repairs were underway following damage caused by Storm Arwen in November 2021. Damage was also caused to the roof of the Quire To the side of the main altar is the entrance to the Crypt, it was such a treat to be able to visit and walk through the Crypt, definitely needs to be seen. There are some spectacular and magnificent stained glass windows in the Cathedral. The most notable are the Elgar and the West windows at one end and the East window at the other end by the Lady Chapel There was so much to see here, so many interesting features, stone carvings, tombs, stained glass, the Crypt, the list is endless

We decided to visit the Cathedral Christmas Eve, usually we stay at home but decided to come along & get some Christmas Spirit. Christmas service was lovely with real donkeys & sheep. The cathedral itself is huge, its gorgeous with all its stained glass windows and carvings I'm sure we may have missed areas, luckily we dont live that far away so can visit again. I love the River behind the cathedral too, I'm planning picnics there for the summertime.

Our second visit to Worcester Cathedral, this time mostly for a bespoke tour of the Library, led by the Dr David Morrison, the Librarian-Archivist. The tour was simply spectacular. I had no idea there was such a collection there. Incredibly rare books, many over 1000 years old, some 1400 year old manuscripts. Highlights for me were medieval maps of the world - seeing such gems up close was such a delight - and the skilled calligraphy and artwork of medieval monks. David was such a knowledgable and gracious guide. So altogether a wonderful hour and a half, and we could have gone longer. I cant recommend this too highly.

Beautiful cathedral with many fascinating things to see. The tombs of King John and Prince Arthur Tudor are magnificent. This was our second visit. We returned specifically for the 11am guided tour advertised as “Turn up for a Tour at 11am* or 2.30pm*, Ideal for individuals or couples who want to turn up on the day.” Sadly when we turned up we waited patiently for 2 people on the welcome desk to finish their conversation before attending to us, then, though greeted politely & courteously we were told that no-one had turned up to take the tour. Disappointed.

We were close by so made a few hours to go and visit. Amazing so much history to see, a beautiful piece of stunning architecture. A lovely Gentleman volunteer gave us so much information too. Well worth another visit another time.

Had a lovely trip to Worcester cathedral, the staff are absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable, a real credit to the establishment! I would definitely recommend a visit! There is no entrance fee, it is all donations and when we donated the staff were very grateful and I think this goes to show how genuinely passionate they are about the cathedral. They were happy to answer any questions and talked us through the map so we didn't miss anything. Thank you for a lovely time 😊

The cathedral is beautiful and I would happily go back. My only issue was the lack of information boards to explain things around the cathedral and/or interactive birds etc. There wasn’t a map/small leaflet that was brought to our attention either (although seemed to be perhaps some guides you had to pay for. The best bit for us was the peregrine nest cam where you could watch a live stream of a nest of peregrine chicks and their parents that had taken up residence on the roof of the cathedral somewhere. The shop and cafe was closed even though it was well before the signs even said (probably an hour and a half before it should have been). The staff member we had interactions with wasn’t particularly friendly but not rude either. If it wasn’t for the beautiful building and peregrines it would have been quite the mediocre experience.

A very fine ancient cathedral set next to the river and surrounded by a lovely college green and old cobbled streets and houses. This is one of the 'classic' English cathedrals, and justly so. It's a huge building, well-maintained with lots of stained glass, historic tombs, a crypt, cloisters and so much more. Wandering around (and you can do this for free - just don't be bullied by the ladies at the information desk at the front door) gives one a sense of awe but a guided tour is a must if you are keen to understand the history and for those little extras. (Would be great to hear the choir too who have a strong reputation)

Cathedral is interesting. Visit was somewhat marred by calling into the Cloisters Cafe which, with one exception, was staffed by the most grim faced miserable women ever. Ordered perfectly well behaved young foreign students around as if they were primary school kids. We were there at 3 p.m. They closed at 4 and obviously couldn’t wait. Very unwelcoming
