The site on which Blackburn Cathedral is built has been a place of Christian worship for over 1,500 years, and our faith continues to be at the very heart of all we do.
Music is central to the work and life of the Cathedral. Learn about our music, choirs, view the Music List and see details of our popular lunchtime concert series.
Blackburn Cathedral is home to over 1,500 years of history, beautiful chapels, incredible architecture and extraordinary pieces of modern art. What will you discover?
Just to keep the Cathedral running requires nearly a million pounds every year. And an enormous building like this costs a great deal more in maintenance and repair work.
This year's William Temple Lectures at Blackburn Cathedral have the overarching title of 'Transforming Communities' - reflecting the theme of Vision 2026.
Bishop Philip North, Bishop of Burnley, says: "An impressive and diverse line-up of speakers will be delivering the Temple Lectures at the Cathedral this year during Lent, focussing on 'Transforming Communities'. This is to be a really engaging series which will face up to the hard realities of making a difference in our communities in the name of Christ. There will be plenty to challenge and to encourage."
