Heritage Open Days - Nottingham Cathedral

About

The cathedral, a masterpiece of the Gothic revival, designed by the celebrated architect, A.W.N. Pugin and built in the early English style in the early 1840s, will be open daily. On selected days there will be talks and guided tours.

The cathedral will be open during its normal hours, subject to cathedral services and special events such as weddings and funerals (details below). Leaflets will be available for those who wish to go around by themselves. On selected days guided tours will include the crypt, not normally open to the public, and a small exhibition of the cathedral's treasures, together with short talks presenting the cathedral’s art, architecture, music and stained glass. There will be a special emphasis on the cathedral's early decorative schemes, elements of which have recently been uncovered, and we will be unveiling the new Restoring Pugin Project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and the plans to restore Pugin’s original decoration, starting in the eastern chapels.
