About this Event
Join one of Bristol Cathedral’s expert guides for a fascinating tour of our 900-year history. You’ll journey through medieval life at the Cathedral, hear tales of Bristol’s very own saint, St. Jordan, and discover the part we played in the ordination of women in 1994.
Once you have worked up an appetite learning all about our story, it’s time for your afternoon tea experience. Our onsite cafe is run by Pinkmans – an icon in Bristol’s food scene. There you'll enjoy a selection of their focaccia sandwiches, freshly baked cakes and, of course, scones, jam and clotted cream. All washed down with a pot of tea.
The tour takes around 60-minutes, and afternoon tea will be served straight after.
Our staff and guides will greet you at the welcome desk five minutes before the tour is due to start.
