Halifax Minster

The Minster is rich in history, heritage, spirituality and architecture. Marvel at its beautiful stained glass and the simple elegance of its Commonwealth windows, the craftsmanship of the ornate font cover and box pews, 'Mousey' Thompson chairs in the Regimental Chapel and the Minster's stunning painted wooden ceiling.

The Minster is the spiritual home of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment and proudly home to a number of its colour standards, including that of the Battle of Waterloo.

The Minster has many fine monuments, brasses and graves, including that of Anne Lister, who lived at nearby Shibden Hall, was baptised and worshipped here regularly. The Anne Lister Memorial Weekend runs from Sept 18th with a Memorial Service held at 7.30pm on Friday 18th Sept.

Musically, there's loads going on this year! Our Sunday Services are sung by the Minster Choir at 10.30am and 4pm. Our regular 'Thursday @ One' organ recital, performed by Minster Organist, Sean Montgomery takes place on Thurs 17th Sept with hot and cold buffet lunches served prior to the concert. There's Elvis by Candlelight concerts on Sept 12th, and a 'Last night of the Proms' concert on the 19th. Full details of events and tickets are on our website.
