Ely Cathedral *LIVE*

Accessibility

The Cathedral has many adaptions to improve its accessibility for visitors with disabilities, and its South Door provides ramp-free access for wheelchair users. For further details, please go to www.elycathedral.org/plan-your-visit/information-for-visitors/accessibility.

Please note that the ceremony activities and the car park are in different locations and walking between them will be necessary. For example, it is a 10-minute walk from the car park to the Cathedral, a 5-minute walk from the Cathedral to the photography studios, and a 7-minute walk from the post-ceremony drinks reception back to the car park. There will also be a drop-off bay outside the main entrance to the Cathedral on the day. 

If you or any of your guests have additional seating requirements to be considered for the ceremony, please telephone the Ceremonies Centre on +44 (0)1908 541079 at least 4 weeks before your ceremony date.

Parking

Free parking has been arranged for graduates and guests on the playing field of King's Ely School. Further details will be sent to graduates in the weeks before the ceremony. 

There are also many public car parks nearby, details can be found by going to www.visitely.org.uk.

We have access to a small number of parking spaces at the rear of the Cathedral which can be reserved for wheelchair users on a first come first served basis. But please be advised that these are standard-sized parking spaces, not disabled parking bays.

Refreshments

The Cathedral's Almonry Restaurant will be open on the day for sales of light refreshments. There are also several cafes and restaurants within easy reach of the Cathedral; they will likely be busy, so you may wish to book in advance. Further information can be found at www.visitely.org.uk

Cloakroom

There are no cloakroom facilities at Ely Cathedral. 

First aid

St John Ambulance has kindly agreed to provide a first-aid service for the ceremony. They will be positioned inside the main entrance (West Door) of the Cathedral. 

Security & emergencies

Please note it is at the Cathedral's discretion to enforce security measures, such as bag searches.

Should the need to evacuate arise, an announcement will be made and Cathedral staff will provide further instruction.
