Birmingham Cathedral is the oldest building in the city centre still used for it’s original purpose. We are home to some remarkable treasures and the largest green space in central Birmingham.
We are honoured to have four beautiful stained-glass windows, designed by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, which were fully conserved and returned to their original glory in 2023.
We promote community cohesion through partnerships with faith groups, businesses, institutions, and charities, as well as undertaking an important civic role in the city.
We are free to visit, and all are welcome to attend services, light a candle, or simply enjoy our beautiful historic building.
We also now taking bookings for group tours – find out more!
