12.00noon Divine Office – Midday Prayers (Sext)

3.00pm Divine Office – Mid-afternoon Prayers (None)

On both days the building will be open from 8.30am until 7.00pm.

Part of a Saxon Sundial that used to adorn the building in the 11th Century will be on display between 10.00am and 4.00pm each day.

We hope visitors might join one (or more) of the Divine Offices, (each lasts about 10 minutes and based on a monastic tradition which would have in place at the time the 11th Century College of Canons was at Stow and for which the Sundial highlighted the time for prayer), but this is not essential to enjoy Stow Minster’s beauty and peace.

There is no admission charge for the Saturday afternoon concert by the Lincoln Branch of the Society of Recorder Players. The concert will last about 45 minutes.
