Breathtaking, beautiful, peaceful, well worth a visit. We went not knowing much about the Cathedral and when walked through the door they have a Whale Exhibition on, which with the sounds is beautiful and the sounds really enhance your visit. We spent 2 hours walking around as there are so many things to see. We couldn't believe how stunning it was and we will definitely use our tickets to visit again and again this year - as it's only £11 for seniors - worth every penny.
Parking in area - we did find a car park within 5 minutes walk 4 hours for £7 - otherwise we would have used the park and ride.

Winchester Cathedral is absolutely stunning—a breathtaking masterpiece of history and architecture. Our visit was made even more special by our fantastic volunteer guide, Bill W. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but his enthusiasm and passion brought the cathedral’s history to life. He delighted and entertained us with fascinating stories and insights, making the experience both educational and truly enjoyable. Complete with sound effects!
Thank you Bill!

The cost of admission was only £13.50 (seniors £12, students £7), but this gives you a ticket valid for a year.
There are many knowledgable volunteers that will help answer your questions and run the regular guided tours. You can pay extra if you want to take a look at the tower.
Wander around and look at the Great West stained glass window, the tombs, the statues, the paintings, the artefacts and carvings.
If you ask one of the volunteers they will point out King Canute’s remains which are in one of the mortuary chest perched high on a stone screen in the Cathedral.
Many visitors come to pay homage to Jane Austen who is buried in the north nave aisle of the Cathedral. There is a brass memorial plaque to the side of her grave.
One of the pleasant novelties that we stumbled on was a statue to William Walker, who between 1906 & 1911 saved the Cathedral from collapsing by diving underneath and placing 25,000 bags of concrete under it’s walls.
Enjoy a pleasant day looking around and have a nice lunch nearby.

A truly beautiful experience and the history exhibition is a must see, so much to do and take in it will take more than one visit.
Nice shop with a good variety of goods and a fabulous restaurant with very reasonable prices tops off the visit

I really enjoyed my visit to Winchester Cathedral. It is famous to many as the final resting place of Jane Austen but in truth that is only a minor part of the visit, it's far more about the breathtaking architecture of this ancient building. There was a terrific guided tour given by one of the volunteers that lasted about an hour and provided a lot of stories you wouldn't get otherwise. Having recently experienced the madness of Westminster Abbey this was by comparison the most calm, unhurried place to visit. There is a very interesting museum with a great display of the Winchester Bible (an ancient manuscript) and a presentation on the identification of the olde English Kings and Queens buried here. The highlight for me though was the flooded crypt with a contemplative sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Although I was only coming about 20 miles I did need to drive as the public transport options were pretty abysmal, but it was an easy and enjoyable walk from the park and ride car park along the riverbank. It was £3 for the car park and £12.50 for the Cathedral ticket plus whatever you may want to donate. I think it's very much value for money as a casual visitor, let alone if you also have a religious interest.

One of the best cathedrals we have visited. Wonderful cathedral, brilliant free guided tour. Excellent exhibition with a glass lift up to the top level. Very good explanatory signage. Excellent cafe. Best to take the park and ride in, if you have a car.

A lovely Cathedral with helpful volunteer guides. Worth a visit whilst in Winchester. Plenty of history and the Magna Carta is there in its on special area. There was a special exhibition too so guess these are frequent.

Don't overlook Winchester Cathedral on your UK visit. It is an exceptional location and taking a guided tour is a terrific way to learn more about the 1000 years of history. The building itself is outstanding and the story of the diver spending years securing the foundations is a heroic piece of conservation. Saints and royal marriages, pilgrimages and plunder - our guide helped bring those stories to life. The mirror that allows a close up view of the extraordinary ceiling is amazing - I was entranced.

Hi,
I recently moved to winchester and someone brought me the annual pass for the cathedral - however it was in my aunts name (the person who brought it)
Does this matter?
كُتب بتاريخ 10 فبراير 2023
The best advice i can give you is show them and explain and take it from there..i don't see that they would object but asking them would help you out.

Can I just get a photo outside the cathedral without buying a ticket
كُتب بتاريخ 10 يوليو 2022
Hi can we just buy tickets to look round the cathedral by ourselves or is it just tours they do? Thanks
كُتب بتاريخ 30 يناير 2022
Hi there, you can look round the cathedral yourselves, but the guides are in effect free as they are volunteers. Also they give you a lot of history that you might miss by just looking. But if you want to look around yourself it’s not a problem. Hope that helps.

I have a ticket purchased this summer do I have to rebook to visit again this year?
كُتب بتاريخ 24 نوفمبر 2021
If you bought a ticket this year (2023) then you can still go as the ticket is for a WHOLE year. Try to remember to bring ticket with you though.

Hello,
We would like to do the tower tour this summer with two children. My daughter is 12 but my son only 10... Is it possible or not ?... Thanks
كُتب بتاريخ 10 يونيو 2019
The minimum age for the Tower Guided tour is 12 years, so your 10 year old would not be able to take the tour.

Did they allow your dog inside the Refectory - and in the Cathedral too?
كُتب بتاريخ 20 سبتمبر 2018
We did not need to go inside the Refectory as there was plenty of seating, and cover, outside as well as dog bowls. We took it in turns to go into the cathedral so best to give them a call and ask. I know some churches are happy to let God's creatures in while others are concerned that they might disturb the peace.
