Your support protects the Abbey buildings and our collections, our music and education programmes, and the Abbey’s rich tradition of worship and prayer.
Donate nowIt costs over £14 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.

Leaving us a gift in your Will can help sustain the Abbey for future generations. Even a small legacy can make a big difference.
