York Minster has an international reputation as one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals.

As the Mother Church of the Northern Province of the Church of England, we host a range of important services and events throughout the year.

Where possible, we welcome and accommodate filming and photography requests, but as a working church there may occasionally be restrictions. See below for further details or to get in touch.
