About

Join Portsmouth Cathedral for this exciting tour, delving into the unusual architecture history of its organ.

For Heritage Open Days 2025, the cathedral will be offering a selection of specialist tours for free!

Often perceived as a modern building, the Cathedral's history dates back to the 12th century. This tour will delve into the architectural timeline of Portsmouth Cathedral, from the 12th-century chapel to the 'new' 1990s west end.

Following the weekly lunchtime concert, Lunchtime Live (1.10pm to 2pm), the tour will explore Portsmouth Cathedral’s organ and how the instrument not only plays a key part in today's worship but also contributes to the architecture of the building.

When booking our Organ Tour, please read the accessibility information on the Heritage Open Days website. Please note that the Visitor Safety Instructions will need to be read and agreed to before the start of the tour.
