Lincoln Cathedral Membership Scheme
The Lincoln Cathedral Membership Scheme is an ideal way to directly engage with the Cathedral, and know that you are supporting its history, heritage and music. In much the same way as a membership of the National Trust or English heritage gives you a range of exclusive benefits and membership options, so too with your Lincoln Cathedral membership.
Why have a Cathedral Membership?
We have 3 membership levels for you to choose from, which means you have the flexibility to select a membership that best suits your need. You can find out more about the benefits* of each membership level below.
Membership starts from a donation of just £24 per year for an Associate Individual membership, so is an ideal treat for yourself, or as a perfect gift for someone. What’s more, you can rest assured knowing that your membership donation is directly supporting the Cathedral and its work.
We aim to despatch welcome packs within seven business days via Royal Mail 2nd class postage. Please call us on 01522 561613 if you need your pack sooner.
*all benefits are subject to availability, particularly on tours where numbers are limited for safety

Member Experience Series
One of the benefits of your Cathedral Membership is access to the Member Experience Series. The member experiences offer exclusive access to places and people at the Cathedral and allow you to get a feel for what makes the Cathedral so special.
We’re delighted to share this video of a Member Experience we held in 2021 led by our Former Director of Works and Property, as a taster of the programme we are able to offer.
