For the first time since the Coronavirus pandemic, Canterbury Cathedral will resume free evening entry to its Precincts grounds. Beginning Wednesday 10 August 2022, between 5pm and 9pm daily, individuals and families will be able to enjoy free access for a quiet walk through the beautiful green spaces of the South Side Precincts of this stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site. Maintaining a centuries-old tradition, the daily 9pm closure of The Precincts will be marked by the Cathedral’s curfew bell. Though the Cathedral Church building itself will be closed - last admission for visitors is at 4pm - all are welcome to attend the daily Choral Evensong service at 5.30pm, and the Cathedral’s Constables and stewards will be on hand to help with any enquiries. As with all of the Cathedral’s services of worship, there is no charge to attend, and all are welcome. Terms and conditions of free evening entry to The Precincts:
