We came to pay our respects to our loved ones who are no longer with us. I explained it all to the boys and why. And we lit some candles

A very nice Cathedral, whilst quite different and not as lavishly decorated compared to other UK Cathedral's I've visited. We spoke to Karen who worked at the Cathedral and she was very knowledgeable, made our visit in fact. Free to enter.

Really stunningly beautiful interior, James Gibbs about 1720s. The two modern windows worked well, the ironwork chancel gate is a wonderful piece of work. Extraordinarily elaborate tomb of Bess of Hardwick, she of the Very Rich Husbands!. Also an older very dark wood carved effigy which is worth looking out for. We went to a Sunday service and were welcomed to coffee afterwards. While we were there, we were just lucky to be treated on the Saturday to an Elvis Tribute band, which was an absolute blast! Included Amazing Grace, which suited the cathedral well.

I went to the cathedral during an event they had with a moon lit up, it was great only £3 for an hour. I recommend seeing the vilvaldi concerts they have during winter too

I was disappointed about how small this place was and how little there was to see. The stairs were marked off so you couldn't go upstairs. There was only a quick 10 minute browse to look at the architecture - and that was it!

Went to see the Moon, and the staff were very friendly and kind to me, as I arrived in the midst of an asthma moment and struggling to find my online ticket. The whole experience with the moon was a much appreciated hour of calm, and I do recommend.

Beautiful cathedral with very friendly staff working there. We visited the Museum of the Moon exhibition and it was incredible!! Definitely didn't disappoint!

Quite a small cathedral compared to other major cathedrals in the uk. A very nice gothic and neoclassical style building with quite bright lighting inside. The staff was nice and we had small talk over my pilgrim passport which he fave me a small stamp for.

Visited the Cathedral to see the Museum of the Moon exhibition. It's essentially a huge 7 metre diameter sculpture of the moon on display, nothing else. The sculpture was impressive, but referring to it as an exhibition or museum is extreme. That said, the Cathedral was worth a visit. I'm not religious but I enjoyed the history, particularly the story of Bess of Hardwick and her vault & stunning monument. Staff were very welcoming too.

It was great to view the History and the architect. Meet some nice people trying to entertain and attract your children into the place, the location and some culture, to also back up and reinforce educational experience with regards to the church, the building and of course the religious aspects. Worth a visit for sure.

Went for a Fleetwood mac tribute band evening and thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏻 Toilets within the cathedral were limited but could use cathedral facilities across the road.

Beautiful cathedral close to the city center. When I was visiting, late Sunday afternoon, there were two staff members who offered a guide paper and some information. Simple, but nice, way to get a little more out of the visit. Free to visit.

It's a popular and most visited attraction in Derby. There aren't many things to see in Derby but having a cathedral in the city centre is definitely worth visiting. It's easy to locate and admission is free. It's one of the historical site and architecture is amazing.

The interior was a surprise as quite different to what you normally expect from a cathedral. Not much information available about the history of the building. All languages available other than English in the leaflets.

Beautiful building and exhibition space for the world 🌎. Your also find the grave stone of John Wright the famous oil painter 🎨 Resting gainst one of the walls inside the building. We'll worth the visit if you enjoy beautiful architecture and colourful stain glass windows with a difference.

An unexpected delight. Very knowledge volunteers and free to enter. A mix of modern and historic. Memorials to bess of hardwick, Florence nightingale. Highly recommended

Although surrounded by many commercial buildings it still holds a significant presence. Not sure what was going on inside but seemed to be a stage being set up with electrical equipment. I felt it lessened the atmosphere of the building.

Beautiful Georgian-style cathedral in the heart of Derby. It rivals Leicester Cathedral for the smallest cathedral in the Midlands (or England as a whole?). Beautiful layout, plenty of architectural details. It is also notable for its frequent activities, like concerts and temporary art projects. The latter was evident during my latest visit in October. A giant globe was hanging from the ceiling as part of the "Gaya" exhibition. Among many interesting objects you'll find the grave slab of Joseph Wright of Derby, the town's most historically important painter. Head over to Derby Museum and Art Gallery to see some of his famous works. During my visit, I accidentally caught an organ rehearsal. Have never been able to attend a concert here, alas.

Delightful experience and full of English history. We asked a very kindly gentleman about the Old English writing and he explained it all. Such a lot of history to take in you need plenty of time.

Beautiful, peaceful building. We had a lovely warm welcome too. Really enjoyed the 'Calm through the storm', the University of Derby Fine Art Student and Graduate Exhibition.

When ever we're in Derby with mum. She always insists we take her to Derby Cathedral. This time was Luke Jerram's Gaia. Gaia is a touring artwork measuring seven metres in diameter and created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. It's beautiful to look at and we all enjoyed the experience. Check their Web site before you go. Some days it's not available for viewing.

First time I have every visited Derby Cathedral and welcomed by Hazel and given additional information about the cathedral. Lovely architecture and interesting history

I love our cathedral! I especially love going below to the Shrine of St. Katherine for some private prayer time.

The Cathedral Church of All Saints Derby is magnificent no other word I can think of to describe it better . The first Church to be built here was in 943 by King Edmund 1 which sadly no longer exists . It was replaced in the 14th Century with the current tower added between 1510 and 1532 . This tower survived thankfully when the rest of the Church had to be replaced in 1725 . The task being carried out by the wonderfully talented James Gibbs . The creator of many magnificent buildings including the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford . I often wonder how these architect's from days of old got around so much . It was promoted to Cathedral staus in 1927 and quite deservedly so . This was once the preferred resting place for the Cavendish family and amongst their tombs you will find Bess Of Hardwick . She splendidly seems to have as much light shining on her in death as I'm sure she had in life . Beneath where good old Bess lies you will find St Katherine's Chapel which is small very serene and quite beautiful . Saint Katherine was martyred in Roman times and gives her name to the Katherine Wheel firework . For reasons far to gruesome for me to think about . After Easter there is going to be an artwork installed by Peter Walker called "Peace Doves" .I was lucky enough to see one of his works at Peterborough Cathedral which was cool and I am sure this one will be great too . I must try to get to see it . I loved my visit here I must return.

I'm not religious in any way, I don't go to church or believe in any god; however, I do appreciate the history, vision, craftsmanship, architecture and dedication to buildings like Derby Cathedral. The Cathedral Church of All Saints Derby is a grade 1 listed cathedral located in cathedral green, it was once the centre of the medieval town. The original Anglo-Saxon church was completed in around 943 by King Edmund 1; however, nothing remains of it. The church as seen today is actually Georgian and was completed in 1725 by James Gibbs, in 1967-72 a retroquire was added, the square tower is 212ft (65m) tall and dates back to 1510-32 making it the oldest part of Derby's cathedral. The tower also house's the world's oldest ring of ten bells dating from around 1678. There's a small underground chapel called St Katherine's and the hugely impressive tomb of Bess of Hardwick. They often have events such as Church of the Moon, Peace Doves, and the Knife Angel, well worth a visit even if like myself you have no religious beliefs.
