Worship and private prayer
The Cathedral's first and foremost purpose, of offering worship day by day, goes on. The Cathedral is currently open for private prayer and reflection (and visiting) Monday to Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sunday 1pm - 3pm. Public worship has now restarted and we also livestream an act of worship every day. The 1662 Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship of the Church of England are used daily.
