Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Minster is closed apart from services of Holy Communion on Sundays at 9.15 am (BCP) and 10.30 am (Common Worship).

Restrictions on opening a building that has witnessed so much on a site as ancient as this remains a very difficult and costly experience for us. For now we draw strength in knowing that we are never alone, even in the trials of isolation and restriction. That the living God, crucified, risen and ascended, dwells within us and we pray with renewed vigour for the coming of his Kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven.

You will find lots of services being streamed live online, including the Cathedrals of this Diocese at Ripon, Bradford and Wakefield.

There is a series of 40 or so digital organ recitals recorded during 2020 and 2021 at Leeds Minster, all of which can be found on the 'Music from Leeds Minster' YouTube channel: here

These are difficult and testing times, but our hope is in the one who is the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. Our hope is secure and we are never alone - however isolated we may feel.

In August 2021, we shall be hosting a series of In-Person Summer Organ Recitals, details of which can be found below.
