Birmingham Cathedral is the oldest building in the city centre still used for it’s original purpose. We are home to some remarkable treasures and the largest green space in central Birmingham.
Birmingham Cathedral is a church of the Anglican Communion and seat of the Bishop of Birmingham. Christian worship is at the heart of our community, enhanced by music from our Cathedral Choir.
We are honoured to have four beautiful stained-glass windows, designed by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. During their conservation in 2023, visitors can book a free scaffolding tour to see work taking place up-close.
We also host a range of concerts and events – offering a unique venue available for hire.
We are free to visit, and all are welcome to attend services, light a candle, or simply enjoy our beautiful historic building.
