Very good volunteer support. This building is cherished. There was a very interesting international embroidery exhibition in the Lady Chapel. Choral Evensong every evening at 5.30 is a cultural treat - and free apart from any donation one feels willing to give.

4/5 - Good

Although the cathedral was quite expensive to get into, we took the total experience. We particularly enjoyed the tower tour (West Tower). Despite what the cathedral website says, you can buy tickets on the door at the same price as online - so you don't have to buy your tickets 2 days prior to your visit. Also it is not possible (Feb 2019) to buy tickets for the total experience online. Our advice would be to wait until you get to the cathedral to buy the tickets.
