Become a Friend
Become a Friend
From just £50 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 Individual plus guest membership - £50
Annual Family membership - £80 (one named adult, one guest adult and up to four children up to the age of 17).
Join the Friends before Friday 10 November to receive priority booking for selected services and events.

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.”
