Wells Cathedral has achieved the ‘We’re Good To Go’ Covid-19 Industry Standard for following government guidance and implementing measures that maintain cleanliness and social distancing.
Wells Cathedral is open to all visitors from 7am – 7pm daily. Many of the safety measures that have been in place since re-opening in June 2020 will remain in place as part of our endeavour to help all visitors to feel safe, and details of these measures can be found below.
- A one-way system of ‘Pilgrims’ Footsteps’ is in place to guide you safely around the building
- There are hand sanitiser stations throughout the Cathedral
- A regular cleaning system for surfaces is in place
- A safe method of being able to light candles is available, should you wish to
- We are currently unable to offer access to the Library as the steps are too narrow and there is a transmission risk through touch and lack of social distancing.
If you are coming into the Cathedral, we ask that you:
- Follow the ‘Pilgrims’ Footsteps’
- Respect social distancing
- Please wear a face covering, although it is not mandatory
- Try not to touch the surfaces and use the hand sanitisers provided as you go round
- Follow the guidelines when lighting candles
- Do not enter the Cathedral if you have Covid-19 symptoms
- Enjoy being able to come to your Cathedral
