About this Event

Who would imagine that a world-class heritage site and important church like Lincoln Cathedral would be covered in graffiti? And yet a recent Historic Graffiti Survey revealed almost 3,000 marks in the ground floor areas alone!

From cavemen to Banksy, throughout history it seems the few people can resist the urge to leave their mark on a wall or building, and Lincoln Cathedral is no exception. From the floor to the top of the tower there are hundreds of examples of medieval graffiti.

Join us on our Medieval Graffiti Tour to gain an insight into the hopes, fears and beliefs of the ordinary people who have gone before us and found it necessary to leave their mark as inscriptions on the fabric of this magnificent building.

Each tour will last approximately 90 minutes and cost £7.50 per person in addition to the general admission fee.

For all Lincoln Cathedral tours, please arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour start time, and pay admission at our welcome desk and receive your tour information.

Please note, all tours are subject to change with no notice. We reserve the right to cancel any tour. If we do need to cancel all tickets will be refunded.

Tickets are sold as non-returnable and non-refundable.

Please note that Cathedral admission is applicable to all visitors, and our specialist tours cost £7.50 in addition to your Cathedral entry. If you gift aid your admission you will receive an annual pass allowing you to return to the Cathedral for free for 12 months, giving you even more opportunity to explore more of this historic building.

Places are limited to 10 people on each tour so it is recommended that you book in advance to guarantee a place.
