Visiting our Worship Services
We conduct many types of Services here in various languages. Generally, those in The Nave (old sanctuary) are liturgical, and the ones held at the New Sanctuary (at basements 1 & 2 beneath the Welcome Center/Cathedral Cafe situated beside City Hall MRT Station Exit D) are contemporary. Look here for details of our Services, or find out what's happening this weekend. We also have facilities and Sunday School for young children. Do ask if help is needed. All our worship venues are handicap-access friendly. Again do ask for help if needed. We serve light refreshments after most of our Services. Do have a cuppa on us and make new acquaintances. Our clergy and pastors will be available to meet you.
As for parking, there are limited facilities available at the Cathedral. As such, we advise Visitors to park at the surrounding carparks on Sunday:
The Adelphi, ($3.21 per entry), Capitol Piazza, ($2 per hr. for first 2 hrs), Raffles City ($2.20 per hr for first 2 hrs), and National Gallery ($1.30 per 30 mins).
The City Hall MRT station is just next to us. If you have any queries, email us.
Cathedral volunteer guides / docents are available for a 45 minute guided tour in English on a private group basis. Tours must be booked in advance. Admission is free of charge.
Tour times: 10.30 am and 3 pm, Mondays to Fridays. The Cathedral is closed on Public Holidays.

Do we need to pre-book a group tour?
Yes. Admission and our guided tours are free. No tickets are required. But do contact us for availability of the main worship hall, the Nave, before visiting. As the Cathedral has Saturday and Sunday Services, and some Weekday Services, pre-booking ensures that the Nave is available for a visit. There are no tours on Sundays. Saturday tours are strictly by appointment and because of the many events that take place on Saturdays, a time slot is not always available.
To avoid disappointment, group organisers should book visits in advance and this can be arranged at welcomecentre@cathedral.org.sg
What is included in a tour?
Admission to St Andrew's Cathedral includes access to the Cathedral's main worship hall — the Nave — and access to restricted areas such as the Nativity Chapel & East Windows.
Is there a minimum or maximum group size?
No. There is no minimum or maximum group size for group admission but we do ask for groups of over 15 visitors to let us know of their visit plans in advance. This is so that we can discuss arrangements together such as reservation of holding rooms and possible staggering of arrival.
Where do we meet?
Visitors can meet our Guides / Docents at the Welcome Centre / Café.
How long should we plan to spend at St Andrew’s Cathedral and when is the best time to visit?
The average visit length is just over 30 minutes. The Cathedral usually opens for sightseeing at 9.00 am and closes for sightseeing at 4.30 pm (last admission 4 pm).
