Liverpool Cathedral

About

Liverpool Cathedral is Britain’s largest cathedral and one of the city’s most awe-inspiring landmarks. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and built between 1904 and 1978, its Gothic Revival architecture commands attention with soaring arches, intricate stonework, and a tower that rises over 100 metres. The cathedral is not only a place of worship but a vibrant cultural venue, hosting art installations, concerts, and community events throughout the year. Visitors can explore its vast interior, climb the tower for panoramic views of Liverpool, and experience moments of quiet reflection in the Lady Chapel. As the seat of the Bishop of Liverpool and a symbol of resilience and faith, the cathedral welcomes people of all backgrounds. Whether attending a service, enjoying the café, or discovering contemporary art during the Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool Cathedral offers a powerful blend of tradition and modernity at the heart of the city.
