Members of the Church of England who live in the Diocese of Oxford (Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes) are welcome to come to their Cathedral to pray whenever they wish. Parishioners may apply for a free Parishioner Pass that allows them to enter via Tom Gate.

The Parishioner Pass lets you enter the Cathedral to pray and look around the building. If you would like to visit the College or the Great Hall you will need to buy a ticket. Adults need a pass each. Under-18s will be admitted if they are accompanying a pass holder.

To apply for the pass please visit  Parishioner Pass.

Of course, everyone is welcome to come to the Cathedral for worship and details of our Cathedral services can be found by clicking here.
