Welcome to Lincoln Cathedral!

Consecrated in the 11th century, Lincoln Cathedral has welcomed people through its doors for over 950 years.  It is one of the great Cathedrals of the world, attracting visitors of all ages and nationalities.

The Cathedral is first and foremost a place of worship and pilgrimage.  The daily offering of prayer and praise, enriched by wonderful music, beats at the heart of the Cathedral’s life.  Our services are open to all, and our welcome extends to people of all faiths and none.  We are also a popular attraction for visitors to the city, and host a range of events throughout the year.
