Seffrid Guild

Join our dedicated Cathedral embroiderers, known as the 'Seffrid Guild’, who collaboratively work on embroidery projects for or related to Chichester Cathedral. The standard of work is high and volunteers should have reasonable skills already although ‘on the job’ training is also given! If you are looking to start embroidery as a new hobby then feel free to contact us, the Seffrid Guild will be very happy to advise.

Bell Ringers

If you are bored of the quiet life and need to ring the changes - have you considered bell-ringing? It’s good fun and great exercise for the mind and body, as well as being a fantastic way to make new friends. We’re always on the look-out for budding bell ringers of any age so if you’d like to give it a go, are free on Wednesday evenings and reasonably fit then we’d love to hear from you at: bellringers@chichestercathedral.org.uk. We’re sure you’ll have a great chime!
