Inside the Cathedral

Experience a guided tour behind the fences and into the heart of Christ Church Cathedral, as part of the Heritage Festival.

The literal and figurative heart of Christchurch, the Cathedral has been inaccessible since 2011.  With construction paused, take the opportunity to visit and experience the neo-gothic architecture from inside the nave, learn about its history and be reminded of its stories and why it's important for Christchurch. 

Join us for this opportunity to see the Cathedral Reinstatement Project firsthand and work completed to date.

Tickets are strictly limited to 50 per tour (with a waitlist subject to demand). You will be entering a construction site so PPE (high viz and safety helmet) will be provided, please wear covered sturdy shoes.

As a health and safety requirement, you must be able to walk on site unaided and be 12 years or older.

  • Tuesday 14 Oct 2025, 4.15pm to 5pm
  • Wednesday 22 Oct 2025, 10.15am to 11am
