    A seriously stunning minster in the cutest little town. We stumbled in while the Christmas tree festival was taking place. The volunteers at the door were so inviting and friendly. We were even given an impromptu tour of the church. The stain glass windows are absolutely magical and the afternoon glow is transcendental. The little gift shop has so much to see and purchase.

    Lovely visit! I came a few years ago but we were passing through and I really visited another look. Absolutely beautiful and so rich in history. We brought our 7 month old son in his pushchair and were easily able to access all areas.

    My partner and I loved the minster. We talked to one of the volunteers for over 20 minutes, explaining the features and about the different building phases, the woky wall and how it was corrected. You can even do a roof tour.

    Quick visit to this minister, one of three in Yorkshire. Took the guided tour of the roof, very interesting along with the stained glass windows. The west exterior wall with twin towers is often used in films to replicate Westminster Abbey.

    I have been to a few Cathedrals recently and some were apaling. Westminster and St Pauls in London are crowded, noisy mausoleums. For some realistic appreciation of what these great buildings come here.

    Pretty cool experience! I did really enjoy it. My biggest disappointment was the fact you have to pay to take pictures. I don't believe any church should be that way...

    Exceptional building. So much history that thise other than locals would be aware of. If you like York & Lincoln you will love Beverley town and minster. The largest parish church in the UK.

    Simply stunning. Excellent hosts. Don't forget to check out the Mouseman mice and the graffiti.

    Beautiful building! I was greeted by a lovely lady who was both enthusiastic and knowledgeable which made the visit all the more interesting. If you visit don't miss the beautiful new gargoyle.

    I have visited Beverley Minster many times since moving here, usually to attend an event or concert. Today I visited to see the Gaia exhibition. There was a lovely atmosphere in the Minster today as always; there were lots of visitors there for all sorts of reasons but nowhere felt crowded or rushed. The Minster really is a stunning building so today I also took some time to wander around looking at some of my favourites: stained glass and roof and stone bosses. The stonework in the Minster is particularly fine showing remarkable detail for carvings many centuries old. The roof bosses are elegant in design ; the stone bosses are intricate and beautifully carved. If you have any family ties to the area I would highly recommend that you visit the area dedicated to the East Yorkshire Regiment to view the Roll of Honour from the First and Second World War. There are lovely guides to answer your questions together with a gift shop, toilet facilities and plenty of space to sit in quiet contemplation. Well worth a visit! Also, look out for the sign to the Quiet Garden, on your left as you go back up Minster Moorgate. If the gate is open just by the Parish Offices, you are welcome to go in. Keep an eye out for exhibitions, concerts etc :February 2024 Lux Muralis art installation.

    Saw the most amazing galaxy exhibition scaled model of the world suspended from the ceiling in front of the stained glass windows , an incredible sight. The minster itself is an incredible testament to the skill of early craftsmen and every corner has new wonder

    BEAUTIFUL inside out. The architecture is stunning and the gift shop is full of goodies

  • 5/5 Connor D. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 46 reviews
    Stunning bit of local architecture, the Minster is incredibly well kept both inside and out. Taking donations for visits alongside a gift shop inside that are used to help with upkeep of the Minster, entry is actually free, so it's definitely worth donating to! Inside, there are great views in both main halls and smaller chapels of some stunning gothic architecture, including some incredibly detailed wood and stone carvings. The lady who welcomed us in was wonderfully friendly, and there was even the option of guided tours. Great facilities inside, including a beverage station taking donations, a gift shop, and toilets. Highly recommend a visit!

    Beautiful, we recently visited the Gacia exhibition and it was stunning. Lovely Minster, friendly volunteers. Very peaceful. We will keep an eye out for any future events

  • 5/5 Geoff A. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing building, both inside and out. There's no admission charge but if you want to take photos: it'll cost Β£3.00 which, believe me, you will want to do . We didn't know but Beverley Minister is often used in Television and Films as it has the same 2 West Towers at the front of the Minster as Westminster Abbey . This design was also used by Nicholas Hawksmoor ( 1661 -1736) - Surveyor to Sir Christopher Wren ! to replicate these at Westminster Abbey (The Crown is one series that was filmed here).

    Very impressive building and interior, friendly staff at the gift shop I bought a small bear. They’ve not cluttered up the nave with some giant orb like Durham so you can see right down too.

    Beverley Mknsrer is wonderful! I go there for quiet time, and to relax. Recently went to pay respect to the Queen, and everyone is so kind and lovely. Perfect for photos, of the architecture πŸ₯°

    A beautiful building with a fantastic welcome when I popped in briefly on Sunday afternoon. Great to see the military colours on display and the fallen remembered. Will definitely go back for a longer look around. Good to see the house of God open for business.

  • 5/5 Audrey P. 7 months ago on Google
    Well worth the ticket price when your guide is Paul. As travellers from overseas, I found the history fascinating and, I imagine, if you were a local, it would seem more so because it would be more personal. Paul not only talked and walked us through the history of the Minster but was knowledgeable about the surrounding areas as well as further afield. There are so many features you wouldn't know about if you didn't have a guide. For those of you who have watched The Crown or Victoria, you will enjoy hearing the connection to the Minster.

    Visited just as the choir started their practice, they sounded fabulous, brough a few of us to tears. VThe verger was very helpful and informative. Some fabulous leaflets for children to explore and seek out hidden gems.

    My family loves our visit there. The place is solemn. I am fascinated with old ministers, and I would love to know their histories. I love British History. .

  • 5/5 Les N. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a fascinating guided tour for Β£6, worth every penny. An amazing peaceful building with a long history. Always worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Rich B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful Minster church. The interior is even better than the exterior, as somehow the many stone carvings on the wall managed to escape the ravages of the Dissolution and of Cromwell's iconoclasts. It also contains the chapel and war memorials for the East Yorkshire Regiment, as well as a number of other interesting memorials.

    Spent a good hour in the Minster at Beverly, beautiful inside and out, while there singing rehearsals were going on, made the visit that much more special, lovely church shop, and staff very friendly and helpful! Recommend to anyone, worth the visit!

    No waiting to enter, nice welcome at the door by a gentleman explaining where to go. Afternoon concert was on when we visited (a pianist playing)

  • 5/5 Sheila N. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful, stunning historic building. The volunteer who welcomed us was so knowledgeable too. Would recommend a visit. I understand you can climb to the top on certain days too, which would be amazing
