Sometimes repair work, a special event or service means that access to all or parts of the cathedral may be limited. Knowing that many people often travel from a distance to visit, the cathedral tries to minimise these times and includes information for people planning their visit at the bottom of this page: https://www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/visit-us/opening-times. You can also contact the visitor desk at Durham Cathedral on visitor.desk@durhamcathedral.co.uk or 0191 338 7178.
