York Minster is one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals. Since the 7th century, the Minster has been at the centre of Christianity in the north of England and today remains a thriving church rooted in the daily offering of worship and prayer.

Explore one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals. Experience our vast spaces and breathtaking medieval architecture, discover our Roman roots and learn about the Minster’s role in Viking York.

York Minster’s Central Tower is the highest point in York and offers unbeatable, panoramic views of the city. See medieval stonework and gothic grotesques as you climb the 275 steps to the top. Trips run regularly throughout the day.

From the remains of a Roman barracks, to 1,000-year-old artefacts still used in the cathedral today, we’ve selected some of our favourite objects and stories from the Undercroft museum to help you explore nearly two millennia of York’s history.

We’re often asked whether it’s possible to mark some of life’s key moments at the Minster, from baptisms to weddings and funerals. Follow the links below to find out more about our policies for different events, and how to get in touch.
