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.
Our daily visiting times are:
Monday to Saturday: 10.30am–4.30pm
Sunday: 12.00pm–3.00pm
Special services or events which may affect our opening hours or access will be announced on our Closures page.
