Guildford Cathedral is calling on adventurers to take part in its thrilling Daring Descent on Saturday 14 June 2025, an exciting fundraising event aimed at supporting the Cathedral’s vital upkeep and work.
Participants will climb the Cathedral’s spiral staircase, consisting of 249 steps, to a height of 160 feet, roughly the height of ten double-decker buses, where they will enjoy stunning panoramic views of Guildford before experiencing the thrill of abseiling back to the ground.
This unique event will feature 20 brave individuals, including Right Reverend Andrew Watson, the Bishop of Guildford, who will be raising funds for both Guildford Cathedral and the Bishop’s Communities Fund. The remaining participants will focus their fundraising efforts on the essential £3,500 it costs every day to keep the Cathedral’s doors open, supporting its operations, services, and community outreach.
To sign up for the event or for more information, please contact Head of Development at Guildford Cathedral on 01483 547884 / Headofdevelopment@guildford-cathedral.org. Further details available via the Cathedral website.
