Announcement regarding the closure of Wakefield Cathedral Shop

28 July 2020

The Chapter of Wakefield Cathedral has made the difficult but unanimous decision to close the Cathedral Shop with immediate effect.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought huge challenges for the Cathedral, as it has for many organisations. Sadly, when we re-open the Treacy Hall in September there will be insufficient room for both the Cathedral Kitchen and the Cathedral Shop to operate in accordance with Public Health recommendations and Government requirements. The Cathedral Kitchen will continue to serve the communities of our city and beyond.
