Help preserve the Cathedral for future generations

Everyone who joins the Friends of Norwich Cathedral plays an important part in helping to preserve this incredible ancient building for future generations.

Founded in 1930, the Friends is an independent charity set up to raise funds to help maintain the Cathedral’s fabric and over the last 90 years the charity has supported everything from the building of the Hostry to restoration work in the Cloister.

Membership starts from as little as £20 a year and in return Friends are invited to special events, receive mailings keeping them up to date with the latest news and enjoy many other perks.
