We had a very special visitor at Nelson Cathedral recently, with English comedian Bill Bailey and his tour manager Neil Adams in for a visit during Bill’s popular NZ tour.

Bill is also a very accomplished musician and really enjoyed playing the organ and ringing the bells. After playing the organ, he commented, “What a lovely instrument this is, absolutely beautiful”. In particular, he loved our stained-glass windows, which is an interest he has in terms of the artistry, history and technical skill and of course ringing the bells.

Christ Church Cathedral (Nelson Anglican Cathedral) is the principal church of the Diocese of Nelson, New Zealand. The Māori name for the hill on which the Cathedral stands is Piki Mai, which means "come up hither".

Our worship follows traditional Anglican patterns with organ and robed choir (Choir breaks for school holidays).

We are open from 8:30am-7pm every day to give you an opportunity to visit, sit quietly and pray, meditate or light a prayer candle. 

During school term time CathedralKIDS is on during the 10am Service. Find out more here
