Venue

The Cathedral is regularly used for concerts and recitals.

St Paul’s has a fine resonant acoustic in which to make music. Additionally, it has fine instruments: an 1865 3 manual pipe organ by Wm Hill & Son, and a Bluthner Concert Grand Piano.  

Unfortunately, our organ is beginning to show its age, and so plans are underway looking into how we may restore this fine instrument which is so integral to the worshipping life of the cathedral community.  The organ is currently tuned and maintained by Harrison & Harrison of Durham who have prepared plans for a complete rebuild of the instrument.

If you are interested in hiring the Cathedral for an event then please refer to the Cathedral Hire policy, booking form and fees which can be found here – Terms and Conditions and Booking Form.
