Become a Friend

For a small annual fee, you can join the Friends of St Paul’s, and benefit from free visits, discounts at our shop, priority access to events and a unique Friends digital offering.
From just £30 a year, join the Friends and enjoy a much closer connection with St Paul’s – through priority access to special performances, exclusive Friends events, discounts and much more. 

Established in 1952, the Friends have a fascinating history of supporting and protecting the Cathedral. They began as a group of volunteers risking their lives to save the Cathedral from bombing during WWI. Today, the Friends are a unique community who come together to enjoy our music, heritage, art and spiritual learning – with some playing a crucial voluntary role in welcoming visitors and being Cathedral guides. 

Annual membership is only £30 for an individual and £50 for a guest membership, where you can bring a different guest every time you visit St Paul’s. 

What are the benefits?

  • Unlimited year-round admission to the Cathedral (COVID-19 restrictions withstanding).
  • Priority access for selected ticketed events.
  • Invitations to exclusive Friends events, including bespoke digital arts and culture opportunities.
  • Access to exclusive Friends website and online community. 
  • Early previews of upcoming events and exhibitions.
  • 10% discount in the Cathedral Shop.
  • Regular Cathedral news via our quarterly e-newsletter.

How is my membership used?

Friends membership subscriptions provide a vital contribution towards the running of the Cathedral, including assisting with our world-class music provision, the conservation of our historic fabric, and our schools and family learning programme. As the Reverend Canon Jonathan Brewster says:

“To become a Friend of St Paul’s is to participate in this extraordinary place, to take care of an historic masterpiece and to come alive to something greater than yourself.”
