Visiting this Summer

The gardens at Blackburn Cathedral are a popular spot during the Summer months. We're open every day of the year and all are warmly welcome to visit and take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

In addition to the gardens which are perfect for a Summer picnic or to wander and relax, the Cathedral is home to a number of extraordinary pieces of modern art, some beautiful chapels where you can stop to pray and light a candle or perhaps visit the popular Cathedral café, Checks & Greys.
