Reviews
"This place is very old cathedral and nice place to visit . If you want to see or like to explore old places then this place then you must visit this old cathedral whenever come to visit portsmouth thank you."
"The staff couldn't have been more helpful, welcoming and accommodating to my personal interests (particular historical eras). Free roam around the entire building, very quiet and plenty of historical references. I highly suggest visiting if you have even just a short bit of time to spare. Cheap parking metres on nearby roads. 5*!"
"I have some memories from when my Grandparents lived in Portsmouth, but as they moved away in 2004, I didn't get to go back here for many years, even though I regularly visit the city with my family. Now that I'm studying in Southampton, it's easier for me to travel into Portsmouth on my own, and the cathedral was one of the things that I desperately wanted to do. The outside never disappoints because of its stunning architecture, but the inside is just how I remembered it from when I was a child, and it'll always remain one of my favourite places of worship to visit! Plus I'd love to give a massive thanks to all the volunteers who run the cathedral and keep it in fantastic shape!"
"Gorgeous place, especially the old part.. we were welcomed in, even though, they were setting up for a very important ceremony on the afternoon.. loved it"
"We visited during the opening of Cathedrals at night, but we visted before Sunset so sadly did not get to experiance it in full on the outside. Inside spaced out was beautiful coloured lights giving a more relaxed and friendly tone. There was some very interesting parts as we walked around giving the history of sections or items on display. Everyone there was warm and friendly during our short visit. We was asked to fill out a form when we arrived about our visit. I don't mind feedback, but yeh don't unless they have shortened it. It does not display correctly in horizontal orientation and it's question after question. Towards the end I gave up and randomly hit options. Multiple questions could have been merged. The only downside of the visit"
