How to join
Simply click the blue bar above and complete a short application form. You can pay by BACS straight away, or request an invoice.
Please note however, that this year we have a slightly different arrangement for subscription fees. We are in a transition period to change our membership term from a financial year (April to March) to a calendar year (January to December). This means that for 2026 only, renewals are due at the beginning of April and the subscription fee has been calculated at three quarters of a year’s rate to secure your membership until December 2026 ONLY.
Member Rates for April 2026 – December 2026 ONLY
Cathedrals, Abbeys, Minsters, Shrines or Larger Churches – membership renewal: £130
Special Introductory Rate for NEW members: £95
Individual membership (for those not directly employed in a Christian sacred space) £30
NB. Next year, in January 2027, we will invoice for a full calendar year’s membership to run from January to December 2027.
If you have any queries about the transition phase of our membership cycle, please email our Treasurer, Clark Brydon: treasurer@cathedralsplus.org.uk
For any other general enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us – we will be happy to hear from you!
