We are an active part of the community welcoming people from all over the world, rather than simply a “heritage tourist attraction”, so we feel it is important to ensure that entry to this beautiful building is free. To help us maintain the life of the cathedral so that we can welcome future generations, perhaps you could have a coffee in our coffee shop, buy a guidebook or make a donation in one of the boxes. It all helps us to balance the books. A suggested donation of £5 per person (or £3 per child) would help us enormously. If you want to go one step further you could consider leaving us a legacy or bequest. Download a pdf of our legacies leaflet

There is ramp access at the front of the Cathedral in High Cross. Most parts of the Cathedral are accessible by ramp. There is a disabled toilet near the restaurant.

Thanks to the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Friends of Truro Cathedral, we are able to offer an exciting learning programme to help children and young people learn about our breathtaking cathedral and the faith that inspired it.

We really are in the centre of Truro, amidst the bustle of the shops and restaurants. You can see our towers from miles around. The city is well served by public transport. There are regular bus and train services to Truro from around Cornwall. There is even a passenger ferry service from Falmouth and St Mawes. For visitors arriving by car there is an excellent park and ride system just follow the signs. For more information click here.

The Shop has a wide range of guidebooks for sale. Cathedral Stewards can help you with any information enquiry you might have. There are Cathedral Chaplains available throughout the day to help you with Spiritual guidance or Confession.

Learn a little of the fascinating history of the Cathedral from our experienced team of Guides.

With the help of students and teachers from Hayle Community School, Cape Cornwall School and Mounts Bay School, we have created three foreign language films about Truro Cathedral, to inspire young people from France, Germany and Spain to visit us. With thanks to Links into Language and the Heritage Lottery Fund for making this project possible.
