There are Friends around the globe.\u00a0 <\/span>Some have a long-standing connection with the Cathedral, the City or the County of Somerset.\u00a0 <\/span>Others have been touched by the wonder and beauty of the Cathedral on single visit – real or virtual.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Friends’ association exists to foster and promote those links and to support the Cathedral.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friends receive an Annual Journal, regular E-Newsletters and the opportunity to join in activities in Wells and further afield.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
