Discover stories of courage, sacrifice and innovation on this 45-minute tour honouring those who shaped history – military and beyond – locally, nationally and worldwide. From monuments to stained glass windows, prepare to uncover hidden heroes you never knew lived just around the corner.
See the memorial to Admiral Lord Collingwood, the locally born naval commander who stepped into Nelson’s shoes after he fell at the Battle of Trafalgar 220 years ago. Learn about feminist firebrand Mary Astell, whose ideas were centuries ahead of their time. And hear the incredible stories of Danish sailors who found safe harbour in Newcastle during the Second World War.
These tours are FREE to attend, with a suggested donation of £7. Your support helps us maintain the Cathedral, continue our charitable work, and keep the doors open for all.
Pre-booking is not compulsory; however, please note that each tour has limited space available on the day.
