We are always on the lookout for energetic and friendly volunteers to help support our visitors and staff.

Vergers – A busy team responsible for preparing spaces for services, exhibitions and events

Tour Guides – Guides lead visitors on a historical journey telling stories of the past through the daily tours offered to visitors

Welcomers – Should be healthy enough to stand and greet visitors, we especially welcome volunteers with foreign language skills

Education – May require a DBS check

Cathedral in LEGO® – Assist in building our miniature cathedral while interacting with our many visitors

Cathedral Estate / gardens – Help keep the Cathedral Estate and it’s gardens on top form, and appealing to Cestrians and city visitors alike

Bell ringing team – Help a small and dedicated team call people to worship in this often over-looked team

All volunteers must be able to commit to regular shifts and when on duty are considered full representatives of the cathedral and part of our team. You will receive full training and must have good interpersonal and communication skills with a desire to learn.
