St Andrews Cathedral

Opening times

Please be aware there are a number of access restrictions in place at the cathedral at the moment. We know that this will be disappointing for visitors, but we are maintaining access where we can.

Due to essential maintenance, St Rule's Tower and the Museum are currently closed (we anticipate the tower will reopen in spring 2024). Sections of the graveyard are fenced off due to unstable gravestones.

The grounds of the cathedral are open. Currently walk-up only.

29 Mar to 30 Sep: daily 9.30am to 5.30pm (last entry 4.45pm) 

1 Oct to 28 Mar: daily 10am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm)
