Our annual heritage open day will take place on Saturday 10th September.
Join us to celebrate Treasures Revealed with access to treasures not usually on display, including an exhibition of our Ceremonial Robes.
If you have got a head for heights you can enjoy a tour of the Bell Tower and take in views of Sheffield not usually seen by the public. You can even try your hand at bell ringing! You can also visit the beautiful Chapter House and learn about the stories contained in its magnificent Christopher Webb stained glass windows.
Introducing Rufus, the Cathedral Mouse
Rufus will be taking Cathedral visitors on a Heritage Treasure Hunt through past times in the life of the City and Cathedral.
Learn about the ancient Sheffield Cross which once stood outside the parish Church. Come and see what it was like to be a Tudor Lord or Lady. Learn how the Monks would create beautiful handwritten and illuminated Bibles and much more besides.
There will be plenty of free craft activities for our younger visitors too!
Admission
Entrance is free and all are welcome.
