About Newcastle Cathedral
Newcastle Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas, was a medieval parish church raised to cathedral status in 1882 when the Diocese of Newcastle was created out of the Diocese of Durham. Its most celebrated feature is the 15th-century crown-shaped lantern tower — one of only four medieval lantern towers in the United Kingdom — which acted as a daymark for shipping on the River Tyne for over 500 years. A major restoration completed in 2021 reopened the cathedral with new exhibitions tracing 900 years of worship on the site.

What is worship in this tradition usually like?
Anglican (Church of England) worship follows the rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. Sunday services often range from a said early-morning Holy Communion to a main mid-morning Sung Eucharist or Morning Prayer, and many parishes hold Choral Evensong later in the day. Services blend set liturgy, hymns, Scripture readings and a sermon. Everyone is welcome, whether you are exploring faith or returning to church.
