Sunderland Minster is part of the Inclusive Church Network.

We seek to be “Open to God – Open to all”

The Minster is open to the public to visit, or for private prayer
Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. – 12 noon.

You are very welcome to come and explore our beautiful building – to spend some time in quiet, to light a candle and pray.
