St Davids Cathedral

St Davids Cathedral The official page of St Davids Cathedral. Since the time of St David, Dewi Sant, himself in the sixth century there has been a church on this site.

For up to date visitor information, through the changes brought by the pandemic, please see the Cathedral website - https://stdavidscathedral.org.uk/visit-us. For over 1500 years prayer and worship has been offered here to God on a daily basis which we still continue. St David taught his followers to ‘be joyful, to keep the faith and to do the little things which you have seen in me’. In this Cath

edral we strive to keep the faith which Jesus Christ and his apostles taught and to be joyful in our expression of the gospel message to the hundreds of thousands of visitors and pilgrims who come to this Cathedral every year. I hope this page will show you some of the little things we do day by day to honour God and St David who founded this Cathedral. The Very Reverend Dr Sarah Rowland Jones
Dean of St Davids

Thank you to our County Councillor, Cllr Bethan Price for keepng us up to date!

More information regarding the works due to take place next week on Newgale Hill.
Although the works taking place is not in my ward this work is going to affect my ward immensely and I have sent strong emails alongside cllr mark Carter, Solva and St Davids City Council emphasising this is the wrong time of year to be doing this work although we know it is much needed.
The days have now gone down from four to two and will start once the school buses have gone through.
There is a diversion route put in place but please plan your days while this is happening.
