Open Gardens July

We are opening the beautiful cathedral gardens on Saturday 18 July from 10am - 3.30pm. Visitors will be able to explore the historic Chapter House Garden, Cloister Garden, Canons’ Garden, Dean’s Garden and the beautiful Bishop's Garden at their own leisure, with our team of volunteer garden guides on hand in each garden to answer any questions. This is a self-led event where you are welcome to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful gardens at your own pace. There are many places to sit, relax and enjoy the tranquil environment.
Tickets cost £7 for garden entry. You are welcome to arrive any time during the day but please note that last entry is at 3pm. You can also add on afternoon tea and a glass of prosecco for £13! During the event, we will be serving delicious Afternoon Tea from College Hall, located within the gardens. To book Afternoon Tea, proceed with booking your standard garden ticket, then when you add this to the basket, an option to add on Afternoon Tea will appear and can be added to your basket.
