Support us

It 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.

Make a donation

Your support protects the Abbey buildings and our collections, our music and education programmes, and the Abbey’s rich tradition of worship and prayer.
