Your admission helps us care for this beautiful building and continue our ministry of welcome. If you would like to support the Cathedral further, there are donation points throughout the building, with both contactless and cash giving facilities available. Every gift, whatever its size, is greatly appreciated.
Unlike many historic buildings, Inverness Cathedral receives no public funding. We rely on the generosity of our visitors, congregation, and supporters to preserve this remarkable place and ensure it remains open and welcoming for generations to come.
The Cathedral opens earlier each day for our regular pattern of worship, and everyone is warmly invited to join us. Everyone is welcome to enter the Cathedral to pray, light a candle, or attend a service free of charge. An admission charge applies only to those visiting to explore the Cathedral as a visitor attraction.
We want everyone to feel welcome at Inverness Cathedral. Step-free access is available via the rear entrance, where a ramp provides access to the building. An accessible toilet is available, and a hearing loop system operates during services for those who would benefit from it.
Whether you are visiting to pray, light a candle, discover our history, admire the architecture, or simply enjoy a moment of peace, we look forward to welcoming you.
