Blackburn Cathedral, as a cathedral of the Church of England, is the Mother Church of the Diocese of Blackburn and the seat of the Bishop of Blackburn. In addition to holding religious services each and every day of the year, many of which showcase our final musical tradition, and pursuing a vigorous programme of outreach to the community, including to those of other faiths, the Cathedral offers a welcome and hospitality to all, provides education, discussions and debates, runs a food bank, and is host to a wide range of non-church events, concerts, exhibitions, conferences and meetings. With the opening of our new Cathedral Court in the autumn, we hope to play an ever-expanding role at the centre of the Blackburn community.
