Originally dedicated to St Denys, the Parish Church of St James has grown and developed over the centuries, becoming the Cathedral of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914. Recently the Millennium Project has seen the completion of the building with the addition of a tower, new cloisters and chapels. Today, we offer all who come to the Cathedral a warm welcome, the opportunity to pray and the chance to explore on their own or as part of a tour.
There is no charge for admission; donations are always welcome.
The Cathedral is also available for venue hire; you can hire the cathedral, the Edmund Room, which is perfect for conferences, meetings, and receptions, and our café, Pilgrims' Kitchen. We have a space for you, whether you are a corporate client, small business or someone looking for a room to hire. If you are interested in hiring the cathedral for an event please contact events@stedscathdral.org.
