At the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, we are committed to being a welcoming and inclusive place for all. Whether you’re visiting for worship, a service, an event, or simply to enjoy the space, we want everyone to feel confident and comfortable during their time with us.
We recognise that many people have access requirements, and we aim to make that information easy to find and our facilities easy to use.
