Story

We all find ourselves in exceptionally challenging times as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect our country. The immensity of what is befalling our world is beyond the experience of most of us, and the financial difficulties that affect many individuals and organisations affect us also.

Chester Cathedral relies upon the donations of its visitors and income from its estate to remain open.

As these streams become ever-more strained, we need your help and support more than ever, in order to maintain the fabric of our beautiful building - and to keep our doors open to allow both worship to continue, and visitors to explore our magnificent cathedral.
