We visited on a day there was a choir recital and the sounds coming out of the main cathedral were amazing. We wanted to light a candle for a recently deceased family member who was born in Chester so the kind staff quietly led us past the recital and into the chapel above.

We visited the Cathedral on May 18th. We enjoyed the experience of the building. It is a large area to walk round but there were ramps for those in wheelchairs and not too many steps for those on sticks. There were lots of smaller chapel type areas.

We were quite underwhelmed by Chester Cathedral. It was dark and dusty and didn't have the aura of other cathedrals we have visited.

When in Chester I always liked to pop into the Cathedral for a quiet moment, to reflect & be at peace & look at the unique glass representing saints in the cloisters.

They ask for a small donation of £3-00, what a change from set admission fees to a 'House of God'! A stunning and welcoming Cathedral with some outstanding modern stained glass windows complimenting those of a more traditional nature. Although the colour of the stone and some of the ornate carvings make for a rather 'heavy impression' there is a... More
