Venue

Open daily for prayer, in St Mary's Cathedral, worship is offered to God 365 days of the year. Standing high above the River Shannon, on King's Island,this cathedral has been a beacon of light -  a place of Christian worship for nearly 900 years.  

Today the cathedral remains, first and foremost, as a sacred house of prayer. Worship is to this day offered to God in this great and ancient cathedral daily, and all are welcome to join us.

Canterbury Cathedral is the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site. It is the home of a community of people who seek to make the Cathedral a place of welcome, beauty and holiness and take part in one of our 2,00 services each year.

Pilgrims and visitors have made their way to Canterbury Cathedral since the Middle Ages, especially to pray at the shrine to murdered Arhcbishop and Saint Thomas a Beckett.

The Cathedral Church of SS Peter & Paul, Dyfrig, Teilo and Euddogwy is the mother church of the Diocese of Llandaff and is the seat of the Bishop of Llandaff.  The Diocese, one of the six dioceses comprising the Province of The Church in Wales, covers the general area of South Wales bounded by Cardiff in the South East to Neath in the South West, the Heads of the Valleys to the North and the Rhymney Valley to the East.

The Cathedral also serves as a Parish Church, the Dean also being the Vicar of the Parish of Llandaff.

The museum is housed in part of a building which is in itself a museum piece; a small manor house dating from the 17th century which was used as a parsonage in 1724.

There are five separate rooms, individually themed, which cover the history of Holsworthy, local tradesmen's tools, medical and apothecary items, World War II and a kitchen with its original cobbled floor, copper and fireplace.

The museum was completely refurbished in 1999 and an entrance porch built giving direct access to the museum from the town's main car park.
