Southwell Minster sits perfectly alongside the ruins of the Archbishop’s Palace and its beautiful gardens.

Whether it be its strong musical heritage, with Evensong sung by the Cathedral Choir, and orchestral concerts throughout the year, or the whole host of other events on offer, such as food and drink and craft fairs, theatrical productions and art exhibitions.
