Memorable meetings
There are three modern meetings rooms to choose from, accommodating up to 40 people.
Based in the visitor centre, our meeting rooms are bright, well-equipped, and easily accessible with views over the Cathedral and Dean’s Green.
Two meeting rooms benefit from air conditioning and built-in kitchenettes while all have the following facilities:
- WIFI
- AV
- Induction loop
All meeting rooms are located on the first floor and are accessible via lift. Toilet facilities are available on the first floor including an accessible toilet.
We’ve been working with Lesley and the team at the cathedral now for over a year to run various events with our team.
The space is inspiring, the rooms airy, and the location and view are breathtaking. Excellent catering and very well looked after by the team. If you’re looking for an inspiring space to run intimate events in Lincoln, this is it.

Thank you for today – it went really well, the venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and we got all the AV kit working, and you can’t ask for more than that really.

Extraordinary Events
There are three main spaces available for hire within the cathedral:
The Nave
The Nave, with its spectacular architecture is the largest and most prestigious space and can accommodate up to 1200 for concerts and 800 for a formal dinner. The transepts offer additional flexibility and can be used independently or as part of a larger event in the Nave.
The Chapter House
The iconic Chapter House can seat 100 people for a formal dinner, and up to 200 guests for receptions, meetings, smaller concerts, and recitals. The space also makes an ideal and exciting exhibition venue. An adjacent kitchen may be hired to support catered events.
The Cloisters
The Cloisters provide a delightful outside space with undercover facilities, perfect for summer receptions and gatherings, offering guests amazing views of the north side of the Cathedral.
The Cloisters may be hired alongside the Chapter House or individually.
Outdoor events
Perfect for outdoor theatre or summer parties, the Dean’s Green is a fabulous space for entertaining your guests with arguably the best view of the cathedral.

Thank you so much for looking after us at our meeting a couple of weeks ago. Everything was perfect and Samantha went above and beyond to take us on the roof tour, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Please also thank the catering staff as the pastries, lunch and fruit salad were really great. We will definitely come again.
