October 22, 2026Welcome to Southwell Minster
For more than 1,000 years, Southwell Minster has been a place of worship, pilgrimage and welcome. In the name of Jesus Christ, we welcome the 100,000 people who visit us in a typical year, whether they come to explore our remarkable historic building, attend a service or concert, find a place for quiet reflection, or take part in the life of our community.
The Minster is more than a beautiful and fascinating historic building. It is a living community of clergy, staff, volunteers and worshippers, with a place in the public and private lives of Southwell and the wider diocese.
There is no charge to enter the Minster, but we rely on donations to help care for this remarkable building and sustain our work. Every gift helps secure its future.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome inside the Minster and in its grounds and gardens.
