A beautiful cathedral holding lots of well documented history. We visited during a school holiday when there was a monsters of the seas display on. The display was okay, it kept the grandson interested but it definitely wasn't worth PS10 an adult. If I was reviewing the monsters of the sea exhibition it would be lucky to get two stars, I'm reviewing the cathedral itself. Friendly staff, easy to get to, lovely and imposing inside, definitely worth a visit.

Visiting Peterborough Cathedral was a serene and surreal experience. The historical details and the hourly ringing of the bells added a magical touch. Surrounded by lush greenery, it's a peaceful haven right in the city center Tickets: None Weekdays: 10-5, Sunday: 12-3

Beautiful Cathedral with stunning exterior architecture and brilliant interior artwork, I was amazed, did spend some time in prayer, but got a little distracted with the the exhibition going on inside the cathedral, however it a must visit if you are in the town, lots of shops around and there is a big shopping centre close by

It was breathtaking! I legitimately stopped when I first saw the cathedral, I was just in awe. It's unreal in person. The details of the architecture, the history, the location. It was worth it. There's a lawn right upfront for visitors to sit in the grass, have lunch, read books, or just admire the building. The lawn is family and kid-friendly. The inside id the cathedral welcomes you with this high monumental ceiling and goes throughout the cathedral. The entrance has a box of donations but it's not mandatory. I donated PS5 because it was worth it. The welcoming committee was very friendly and welcoming. There's a small shop inside for souvenirs. They do hold church services but you have to look at their calendar. You can also light up candles for prayers in different sections of the building. If ever in Peterborough's surrounding areas, YOU MUST VISIT this treasure! I sat on one of the benches had my sandwich and just admired the architecture. It was a beautiful day

Wonderful cathedral in the City Center. I especially loved the idea of a big book having milestone details related to the cathedral at the entrance that enhances the beauty of the Cathedral overall. Also it is just within walkable distance from Train station. Overall well spent day in Peterborough.
