Llandaff Open Doors 2020 is here!

Each year the Friends of Llandaff Cathedral organise a series of events as part of CADW’s Open Doors event, taking people inside special places across Llandaff that normally wouldn’t be seen by visitors. This year’s event was cancelled but we’re delighted to have been able to create this virtual open doors event to bring you as authentic an experience as possible.

After watching the videos you may wish to learn even more about Llandaff Cathedral. A new Cathedral Guide Book was published in February to mark our 900th anniversary, written by Cathedral Archivist Dr John Kenyon, and you can purchase a copy for just £5 by clicking here.
