Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire Reviews

Many happy memories of a wonderfull and
peaceful church

Didn't go in minster this time but had lunch in refectory cafe,excellent!

One of the most great things to visit if you're around. As well, people in there were very friendly and willing to explain you few things about the place

Absolutely beautiful and historic. Really knowledgeable staff and gorgeous grounds. Will definitely be going back for longer visit

Excellent surrounding in minster choir practice going on sounds great

A lovely place to visit. The guides to the cathedral were very helpful and informative. Visit to appreciate!

Watched the delightful G4 here, beautiful place and weirdly warm for such an old building!

Very interesting place made more so by the very helpful and knowledgable guides! There was more to see than I expected it made a great historic day out.

quite a lot of interesting history. lovely stone carving.

Garden is well maintained, nice and peaceful.
You feel good just sitting there.
Unfortunately , because of lockdown, we cannot enjoy being in the Minster building just now.
I have visited before , when the concerts were on the program.

An amazing place. The carving in the chapter house is worth the visit alone. The cathedral is in excellent condition and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

A must visit. Whole town a jewel. Take a big walk round and see how the other half live.

Well worth a visit. Volunteer guides full of interesting information.

Lovely cathedral built in Norman times with many stories to tell and volunteers to tell them. Sometimes charity events held and christmas indoor stalls. Bishops palace next door. Used to be open to the public but not sure now. Cathedral always worth a visit and the shop and cafe in the grounds. Southwell is a small market town. Shops, post office and cafes., hotels. Good bus route. Car park small with toilet.

Really interesting, beautiful stained glass both modern and traditional. Could take the dogs in - a real bonus. Grounds beautiful , Easter garden and pretty borders. Would recommend.

Its such a beautiful serene place well worth a visit and a quaint little town.

Well worth a visit. It's free to look round and is very interesting.

Outstanding. Unlike any other cathedral in UK that I've seen in my life to date.

Early gothic/Norman cathedral - amazing barrel-vaulted ceiling in the nave.

The stone carvings - the leaves of Southwell - are amazing. The new stained glass window, commemorating WW1, is very striking. However, it's a shame to see nothing commemorating the anniversary of women's suffrage, especially given the Church's record.

I enjoy going for a walk around the Minster & the town & have a drink & cake in the Minster cafe

Awesome and spiritually enlightening tapestries on exhibition.

Not great this time better in spring time summer time

So atmospheric
Friendly cafe.
Bookshop
And guides in the cathedral too

Beautiful angel window and a superb exhibition with sculpture of Jesus and 3 quilted panels of the tree if life in the creation story, the easter story and
revelations ( a new heaven and a new earth)

Lovely building, free to look around, nice gardens, interesting and calming visit

Lovely place to find a bit of peace.Helpful and knowledgeable staff especially Jane

It is a very important part of our lives and our heritage.

One of my favourite places!! Somewhere I love to share with others.

Fabulous place. Guides are great, and knowledgeable. Artitecture, stone and glasswork is fantastic.

Beautiful building we was there for our daughter's graduation felt so proud

A moment of divine meditation brought to us by Simon Hogan, assistant organist Southwell minster. La ascension by Oliver Mesean, wonderful.

Southwell minster is a very worthwhile place to visit.
Part built by the Norman's and then extended several times in later ages to create a lovely cathedral that is full of history. And of course, given the area it's in, Crowell's soldiers had a go at it!

Very nice place good selection of food and staff very pleasant and helpful will return

Really nice place to visit, great bit of history, friendly people there.

Beautiful cathedral. The history behind the Minster is incredibly interesting and the architecture is wonderfully intricate yet simple. The archbishop's palace just across the path is an interesting visit too. You can learn about the history, or just look at the beautiful paintings there. Next to the archbishop's palace is the garden where there are multiple places to sit or wander in the serenity of the plants and wildlife
Toilets are available in the archbishop's palace

Fantasic building and surrounding grounds with lots of history. Many kings and prominent people have stayed here throughout history and the town of Southwell is well worth a visit too.

A beautiful Minster the norman architecture is fantastic well worth a visit

Beautiful Southwell Minster. The architecture is awesome and the acoustics are amazing. Highly recommend a visit

A beautiful visit. Time for quiet and contemplation

Absolutely wonderful. So peaceful and spiritual. A must see church.

Fantastic minster, one of the county's hidden gems.

Amazing place with volunteers and staff that are incredibly knowledge. Really interesting place. Well worth visiting.

Stunning, majestic cathedral. Full of history and breathtaking grounds in a quiet, pretty rural, small town.

Simply beautiful and well worth the drive to visit.
