Worcester Cathedral (Undercroft)
College Yard, Worcester, United Kingdom
Book your free tickets during our Relaxed Visiting Hour to explore our Christmas Tree Festival here at Worcester Cathedral. In 2025, it is bigger and better than ever, including Dedication Trees in the Chapter House and even a Marquee on College Green!
Our Christmas Tree Festival is extremely popular and at busy times such as weekends and school holidays can be quite crowded and noisy. This year we will be opening our doors an hour early on certain mornings close to Christmas (see below) for a more relaxed, less busy, and quieter atmosphere. We will have limited tickets to ensure a less-crowded environment, and fewer stimuli.
During these times there will be no rehearsals or music and the Cathedral will be closed for general visiting, so you will be able to explore the Festival in a relaxed setting and at your own pace. You will also be able to explore the Cathedral during this time, if you wish.
These mornings will also be suitable for visitors with accessibility and/or mobility needs, those who are visually impaired, those with sensory needs, and those with additional needs who would prefer more space/time.
Please note that other than assistance dogs, no other dogs will be permitted.
This event is open to children and adults - please indicate numbers when ordering your tickets.
Times and dates:
Saturday 13th December, 9:10-10am
Saturday 20th December, 9:10-10am
Monday 22nd December, 9:10-10am
Tuesday 23rd December, 9:10-10am
Lights on trees
During the Relaxed Hour the Christmas Trees will have their lights on, though they will not be flasing/twinkling.
Access and North Porch Landscaping
After entering the Cathedral through the North Porch you will be directed to the Cloisters via the ramp, suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and walkers. A relaxed one-way system will be in place. You will be able to access the Marquee on College Green via the Slype. Please follow the appropiate signage.

There are male and female toilets and a gender-neutral disabled-access bathroom in the Cloisters.
