For the fastest entry, and for our best prices please book with us online. You can book dates from three months in advance and even on the day too.

We are also able to welcome walk-up visitors buying tickets, Annual Passes or redeeming any offers which cannot be pre-booked.

Our Annual Passes:

• cost the same as their corresponding single visit admission ticket
• can be ordered online or as a walk-up visitor
• allow you to visit the Cathedral as many time as you like during one year: You’ll still choose a visit date, which will be the start of your 12-month access
• are classified as a donation: We ask UK taxpayers to consider applying Gift Aid so we can benefit from an extra 25 pence for every £1 you donate
• only allow you, and any family members living with you whom you book Annual Passes for, to enter the Cathedral: you won’t be able to bring people not from your family household (you do not have to visit with the family household members you have booked Annual Passes for)
• are non-transferable beyond the person you book it for: proof of address may be requested when revisiting
• carry only your name as the contact for the booking and are not individually named.

Book Annual Passes

Please do not book Annual Passes for people not from your family household. They should book their own Annual Passes.

Annual Passes allow revisits for sightseeing admission to the Cathedral. Some special events may also allow free entry for Annual Pass holders – please check each event in our calendar carefully.

If you bought a single visit admission ticket from us you may be able to convert it to an Annual Pass. Gift tickets, group tickets, tickets bought from one of our ticketing partners and discounted or promotional tickets are not usually eligible to be converted to an Annual Pass. Please speak with a team member on the day of your visit or email us within 28 days of your visit on admissions@stpaulscathedral.org.uk including your ticket details.

If you have booked an Annual Pass, this ticket is valid from the date and entry timeslot you selected regardless of whether you visit then or not. After that date, it can be used at any time within sightseeing opening hours.
