About This Event

Join a fascinating guided tour of Selby Abbey on Monday 5 October 2026, commencing at 10:30 AM. This insightful exploration begins at the West Door and delves into the rich history of this significant ecclesiastical site. Selby Abbey holds the distinction of being the first monastery established in the North of England following the Norman Conquest of 1066, making it a cornerstone of early medieval history in the region. Visitors will have the opportunity to appreciate the Abbey's remarkable architectural heritage, tracing the evolution from its Romanesque origins to the soaring grandeur of its Gothic elements. The tour is expected to last for approximately 75 minutes, offering a comprehensive yet concise overview. Attendance is entirely free of charge, although voluntary donations towards the Abbey's upkeep and preservation are gratefully received and highly appreciated. This promises to be an engaging and educational experience for all interested in history and architecture.
