Cathedral Attendance

* Cathedral Headline Mission Statistics 2011 *

Attendance levels at regular weekly services in Church of England cathedrals have steadily increased by 30% since the turn of millennium, a growth of approximately 3% on average each year. At Sunday services 15,900 adults and 2,200 children and young people usually attend. Including those who only attend midweek services, the total attendance figures rise to 28,000 and 6,800 respectively. Westminster Abbey adds, on average, 2,000 people each week to these numbers.

The latest edition of the Church Statistics 2010/11 continues to expand measures of participation and affiliation collected by Church of England dioceses, parishes and cathedrals. This publication provides more detailed geographical evidence of the continued involvement of the Church of England in the everyday lives of men, women and children.
