York Minster

Welcome to York Minster, one of the world's most magnificent cathedrals and a place of worship for over 1000 years.

Sometimes we run out of words to describe this special, beautiful and ancient place. So, we commissioned a York poet to describe the Minster for us.

Make sure you have the volume up - we promise it is worth it.

Today, Ash Wednesday, we welcomed over 3,500 people through the doors for prayer and reflection.

Amongst them the Archbishop of York and the Dean of St George's College, Jerusalem, who presided and preached respectively at this evening's service.

Join one of York Minster's best-loved traditions and experience George Frideric Handel's 'Messiah' in the cathedral's awe-inspiring Nave.

Be immersed as the Choir of York Minster alongside an accomplished orchestra and celebrated soloists bring this iconic music to life.

From the sorrowful tones of ‘He Was Despised’ to the jubilant culmination of God’s triumph in the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, Handel’s Messiah narrates Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection through spectacular choral and orchestral music.

It's a experience not to be missed!
