The Society of Friends of Chester Cathedral is open to membership for all persons who love and care for the Cathedral, wherever they may live - be it near or far away or even overseas.
Dean Frank Selwyn Bennett founded the Friends in 1930. Membership is thriving and the Society currently has about 850 members.
The Friends support the development of both the worship and the music in the Cathedral, and also the maintenance of the fabric and the furniture of this most beautiful building.
The Friends hold a very successful Plant Sale every year in early May. There are also a number of social events during the year as well as a very popular overnight trip, usually in September. Two newsletters are published annually, which keep Members up to date with latest developments and news. The Annual General Meeting is held in June and all Members are invited to attend.
The Benefits of Friends' Membership include:
Free entry for the cardholder plus one other, on presentation of a Friend's Membership card at admission.
- 10% discount in the Refectory Cafe and the Cathedral Shop on production of a Friends' Membership card.
- Newsletter twice a year
- Summer Outing and Autumn overnight trip
