About
Join us for an exclusive tour of Ampleforth Abbey Church.
Our popular church tours are back, running on Sunday and Thursday afternoons. You'll be led by a monk who will take you on a journey of exploration through the church's history and striking Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's architecture. You'll visit rarely seen areas of the church including the Crypt and learn interesting facts about its many chapels and other features.
On selected dates, you can book a special tour hosted by the Abbot of Ampleforth Abbey, Fr Robert Igo.
Our Visitor Centre and Abbey Shop will also be open (11am-3pm) for you to explore on the day of your tour, as well as our Tea Room, where home-cooked food is served in a beautiful setting.
