Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is Britain's biggest Cathedral and the 5th largest in Europe. The cathedral is free to enter, however the tower and audio tour is highly recommended. Book tickets through VisitLiverpool by clicking on the 'buy tickets' button to save time!

The Cathedral is a world-class visitor attraction with a full programme of events from Cream Classics music sets to large gala dinners and conferences.

Travel to the top of the tower on the 'Tower Experience' and enjoy unrivalled panoramic views from 500ft above sea level! Here visitors can see the city and way beyond, it's also one of the best places to catch a Mersey sunset.

The Tower Experience includes the Great Space Film on how the cathedral was built (available in 7 languages), a visit to the Bell Chamber to see the world's heaviest peal of bells and of course a trip to the top!

The Cathedral also offers a choice of two dining venues. The Mezzanine Cafe inside the Cathedral and the Welsford that even serves a traditional Roast Dinner on a Sunday.
