Blackburn Cathedral

Who we are

Blackburn Cathedral is one of England’s newest cathedrals, yet one of the country’s oldest places of Christian worship. 

God has been worshipped on this site for over 1,500 years and we are a vibrant community serving the people of Lancashire.

In recent years we have developed our Enterprises activities with events of all kinds, attracting all communities to our beautiful building. We host music, textiles, educational, Civic events and with our Centenary year in 2026, there are more exciting and engaging activities to come. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Dean and Chapter recognise that discrimination and victimisation is unacceptable and that it is in the interests of the organisation and its employees to utilise the skills of the total workforce. It is the aim of the organisation to ensure that no employee or job applicant receives less favourable facilities or treatment (either directly or indirectly) in recruitment or employment on grounds of age, disability, gender, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
