Hands down the greatest cathedral I've visited for stain glass. It's very well lit, the glass is vibrant. There is ample parking just moments from the cathedral entrance (pay and display, also acceptes contact less) the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the site. Wasn't overwhelmed with donation boxes and all areas well almost all ares accessible to the public apart from the treasurer room. Be on the look out for the cathedral cat also. Honestly 10/10 would recommend visiting here. Coffee shop or cafe on site also didn't attend it but seemed to be very busy

Unfortunately couldn't spend as long here as would have liked. Understandably but without forethought closed part of this morning for remembrance day. Managed to wonder round inside afterwards and was guided expertly by 1 of the tour guides to the locations of the 2 people's graves/tombs/plots we we're looking for. Glad we went back after remembrance and most definitely worth the £5 each charity donation. The building itself is in excellent condition considering its 900 years of existence.

Beautiful place and really helpful staff! Staff arent pushy for donations which is great as many places are pushy. Free tours makes visiting very affordable. Would definitely reccommend for half a day/a full day out. We went at 11am on a Wednesday during the October half term and it wasn't busy at all. They had activities like colouring avaliable for children.

A must see on your to do list if visiting Norwich. We visited around 2.30pm on a Sunday in December. We were welcomed by a very friendly, bubbly, informative lady at the entrance. Entrance is free but if you can give a donation it all helps to keep this incredible building in the remarkable condition it is. We listened to the organ playing whilst taking in the breathtaking stained glass windows, incredible architecture (remember to look up) and the history. Pausing to light candles in remembrance of others and for peace. Sitting for a few moments of prayer and contemplation. There is a wonderful cafe attached to the side of the cathedral, scrumptious cakes, scones, rolls, pastries, mince pies; eat in or take out. We sat and had a delicious cup of earl grey and a nibble of naughtiness. Would highly recommend to all.

Staff were really friendly & helpful. Good guide leaflet. Could spend weeks here as so much to see. Wonderful blend of ancient, old and modern stained glass. Flowers in all the chapels. Beautiful!

An amazing place to visit and won't break the bank. The entrance is very welcoming. Very open and modern with lots of information on offer and no extra mandatory charge for it, like some cathedrals. You can wander around freely or go on a tour. I chose to walk freely but would recommend a tour if you would like more info or at least picking up some of their booklets. The buildings themselves and grounds are very well kept and are nice to walk around. I am glad this cathedral is being looked after. The upstairs is accessible with a lift where the cafe/toilets and library are situated. I was lucky enough to visit their library on a day where they were allowing visitors to view their older books. This for me was an incredible experience and I am grateful to have seen the incredible volume of books they care for. I did have to park a little bit away but Norwich does have a good amount of parking about, and its the only thing you would have to pay for in this trip.

A beautiful cathedral in a beautiful city. Great history. Fantastic art and architecture. Peaceful surroundings to rest and contemplate. Excellent facilities for the disabled visitor. Superb cafe which is accessible and can cater for food allergies/intolerances.

What an amazing place to visit. You pay what you think is appropriate on the door and tours are free. We don't normally follow tours, but on this occasion did and found out so much more about the history behind the cathedral and found it very worthwhile. We also had lunch in their cafe and would definitely recommend their salads - yum! Cathedral was dog friendly, but if eating you have to use outside tables.
