Hospitality is provided by our own, licensed restaurant, serving light meals, tea and coffee, wine and beer.

Facilities are provided for those with special needs, and there are RE resources for the use of special needs students and schools. Accessible toilets are available at College Hall, the Cathedral Coffee Shop, and opposite the Visitors’ Centre. Public toilets are also available on these sites. A Touch and Sound model of the Cathedral is placed near the West End, which includes tapes for making a visit, and a braille guide. Most of the building and the entire Close is accessible to wheelchair users. Plans are in hand to improve facilities further. Our guides are trained to take round those with special needs, and we are working on educational resources for the use of special needs schools.
