Summer Season | What's On

This summer here at Leicester Cathedral, we will have exciting opportunities to explore and enjoy stories – of Leicester/shire, of faith, of culture – as we celebrate the new life our restored Cathedral building is bringing.

Leicester Cathedral is at the beating heart of our city and county, and for 900 years this building has been a place of welcome, worship, and music. We invite you to join in this adventure!

Visit us

Leicester Cathedral is at the physical heart of our city and county.

Our church, built on a Roman site and dedicated to St Martin of Tours, has been embedded in the public, economic, cultural and religious life of this community for over 1,000 years. Since 1927, as the seat of the Bishop of Leicester, we now gather people together for worship, celebration, lament, debate and service of the poor and vulnerable.

We offer hospitality to the wider church, the communities of faith that make up our multicultural society and those who come as visitors to the East Midlands, especially in search of the story of King Richard III.

I invite you to join with us in this adventure.

The Very Revd Karen Rooms, Dean of Leicester
