Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

Formally known as Canterbury Cathedral International Study Centre - but we agree 'Lodge' is slightly catchier!  A unique, contemporary  venue, situated in the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site, in the heart of the City of Canterbury, Kent.

Seating 180 on the ground floor stalls and 20 in the balcony it is another beautiful space to share live music. Chris While claims it has the best acoustics in the land. It certainly has one of the most awesome backdrops, the majestic illuminated Cathedral.

There are a number of public car parks fairly close by. The Quenin Gate is probably the closest, but beware the entrance through the wall is often closed after 7pm.

The main entrance is via the Christchurch Gate from the Buttermarket (by the new Cathedral Visitor Centre and Shop) once through, follow the road around to the right. The Cathedral Lodge is on the right hand side.  Look for the pointy roof of the auditorium. The Venue is through the glass doors and turn right.  They have accommodation on site for anyone wishing to stop over.

Seating is unreserved in this venue. If you have special seating requirements, let us know in advance.

There is a bar in the foyer, open before the concert and in the interval.
