Together, securing the future

This “most poetic of England’s cathedrals” is here for everyone, its doors open to all.

At Wells Cathedral we are working continuously to conserve, enhance and interpret this extraordinary building, so it may be enjoyed and enrich lives in this and in future generations. And we need your help.

English Cathedrals receive no regular funding from the Government or the Church of England towards maintenance, restoration and development work.

That means we must raise £4,500 per day through our own endeavours and with the vital help of our visitors, congregation, supporters, the Friends of Wells Cathedral and grant making trusts.
