Welcome to Chelmsford Cathedral, a sacred place in the heart of the city where everyone is welcome.

We're open for private prayer

We are open for private prayer and reflection and you are all very welcome to join us.  We will be open every day from 11am to 3pm and on Sundays from 12 noon until 3pm. 

Following the latest Church of England guidance, it is now expected that all visitors to the Cathedral, for worship or private prayer, wear a facemask.

We're open for public worship

We're delighted that the Cathedral is now open for public worship on Sundays and you are invited to join us for the Cathedral Eucharist at 10.30am. Please note there is no longer a requirement to reserve a place/book a ticket for Sunday's 10.30am Eucharist service.  Tickets are still required for Junior Church and Muddy Church.

We’re here for families

Families can join us for Junior Church in the Garden on Sundays at 10.30am. We'll worship together in the beautiful Guy Harlings garden and there'll be lots of fun craft activities to enjoy. Spaces are limited so you must book in advance online here.  Our next Muddy Church is at 3pm on Sunday 23rd August in Guy Harlings Garden.  To book your free place, please click on the link.
