St Edmundsbury Cathedral has a long and fascinating history. There has been a church on the site since the 11th Century, which was originally dedicated to St Denys before being rededicated to St James. The building you see today dates from the 16th Century, when the church was rebuilt. Renovations in the 19th Century include the roof and font designed by George Gilbert Scott.
The church became the Cathedral of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914, and work began to transform it into a cathedral. The Millennium Project saw the completion of the building with the addition of the tower, new cloisters and chapels.
The cathedral holds regular services, including Evensong, as well as concerts and other events, guided tours, tower tours and community events.
Guided tours run from 1 May to 30 September, Mondays to Saturdays at 11am, starting at the Font and Tower Tours run on Saturdays at 10.30am and Sundays at 1.45pm. Tickets for these are available from the Tourist Information Point which can be found adjacent to the Cathedral Shop, and Tower Tours can be booked through the website.
The cathedral is a versatile space, available to hire for events such as concerts, theatre performances, dinners, awards and presentation evenings and lectures. We can accommodate up to 700 people seated in the nave. For formal dinners, we can accommodate up to 300 people.
