Blackburn Cathedral, as a cathedral of the Church of England, is the Mother Church of the Diocese of Blackburn and the seat o ... f the Bishop of Blackburn. In addition to holding religious services each and every day of the year, many of which showcase our final musical tradition, and pursuing a vigorous programme of outreach to the community, including to those of other faiths, the Cathedral offers a welcome and hospitality to all, provides education, discussions and debates, runs a food bank, and is host to a wide range of non-church events, concerts, exhibitions, conferences and meetings.
