Welcome to Chichester Cathedral
For 900 years Chichester Cathedral has welcomed visitors through its doors – worshippers, seekers, tourists, people of all faiths and none.

2008 is a special year for Chichester Cathedral.  This year, it is exactly 900 years since this magnificent Cathedral was consecrated and set apart as a sacred space.  During 2008, we are also remembering Chichester's Bishop George Bell, 1883-1958, who died 50 years ago and is famous worldwide for his life's work. 

We have many special events planned to celebrate these two unique anniversaries and you are warmly invited to join us.

Whoever and wherever you may be, welcome to Chichester Cathedral. 

Nicholas Frayling
Dean of Chichester
