It costs over £10 million a year to maintain the Abbey, and we don’t receive any funding from the Church, the Crown, or the Government. Worship and prayer is always free, and visitor entry fees cover only our basic running costs and some essential maintenance.
Your support helps us continue our restoration and conservation work, our education and music programmes, and the Abbey’s rich tradition of worship and prayer.
