March 14, 2024Welcome to Southwell Minster
For more than 1000 years Southwell Minster has been opening its doors to welcome visitors, pilgrims and worshippers. We have placed hospitality in the name of Jesus Christ as being at the heart of what we want to offer the 100,000, or so, people, who come in a typical year. As well as being a beautiful and fascinating historic building, Southwell Minster is a community of clergy, other workers and many worshippers, contributing to the public life and private lives of the town and the whole diocese.
There is no charge for entry but donations are gratefully received - suggested donation £5 - your donation will help us keep this historic building open for generations to come and support the important work we do.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome inside the Minster, its grounds and gardens.
