We're happy to announce that the Welcome Centre is now open and is serving as the new Visitor Entrance to St Albans Cathedral. Visitors can access the Welcome Centre from Sumpter Yard. We are also happy to announce that all the paths around the Cathedral are now open, so visitors can enjoy the Cathedral from all directions, whether it be from Verulamium Park or St Albans City Centre.
In addition to the building of the Welcome Centre and refurbishment of the Chapter House, work has been taking place behind the scenes to develop the way the remarkable stories of Alban and the Cathedral are communicated. The result of this is a brand new exhibition area featuring audio visuals allowing visitors to explore the medieval Abbey and its manuscripts and some of the Cathedral’s hidden spaces. The Welcome Centre also features a timeline which places St Albans’ local history in a national and international context.<span style="font-size: 1rem;">
