Cathedral Archivist Becky

About

Get up close to treasures from the Cathedral Library, specially brought to the Chapter House on the ground floor.

Normally accessible only by appointment and via a spiral staircase, the Library can be difficult to visit for some. Therefore this opportunity aims to remove any barriers and share the Library's wonders with everyone.

The display will feature our volunteers' favourite items, spanning the Cathedral's history from its days as a medieval abbey through to more modern times.

Drop. No booking.

Heritage Open Days provide visitors with the opportunity to see hidden places and try out new experiences. Discover what else is happening at Gloucester Cathedral for Heritage Open Days on the Cathedral website: https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/whats-on/heritage-open-days-2025
