Become a friend

There are Friends around the globe.  Some have a long-standing connection with the Cathedral, the City or the County of Somerset.  Others have been touched by the wonder and beauty of the Cathedral on single visit – real or virtual.

The Friends’ association exists to foster and promote those links and to support the Cathedral.

Friends receive an Annual Journal, regular E-Newsletters and the opportunity to join in activities in Wells and further afield.
