Staffed by volunteers this lovely cathedral is open to visitors and is worth a look if you are in the Adelaide Oval area north of the city. There are all the usual sites of a location such as this and you can take some time for private reflection if you wish. The volunteer staff are friendly and able to help you purchase items from their small shop as a memento of your trip.
Some pleasant green spaces are nearby as well as a war memorial and it's the perfect place to combine with your Adelaide Oval Tour given the Oval is so close.

Try and visit this beautiful cathedral at the Sunday evening service at 6 o'clock. You'll be able to experience the grandeur of the recently restored organ and the 30+ member choir. The music at St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide is definitely world class. You also enjoy the traditional stained glass as well as the huge contemporary windows by renowned glass artist Cedar Prest.

The choral Eucharist at 10.30 a.m on Sundays is a sublime experience. If you are a committed Christian, it will lift your spirits heavenward. If you love classical choral music you are in for a treat. At the service I attended the musical setting was by Bruckner, the Kronstorfer Mass which I had not heard before even though I have been a chorister myself for many years.
The cathedral itself is beautiful with some quite modern stained glass as well as old traditional windows. The peal of bells will welcome you to the service and there is a well stocked bookshop with cards, books and jewelery to entice you afterwards. The two assistance dogs in the service were exceptionally well behaved with the dignity that befits the solemnity of the occasion.
Tea and coffee are available in the hall afterwards and visitors are very welcome.

St Peter's Anglican Cathedral is an Adelaide landmark. It is a faith community that combines liturgy, music and preaching. It is the mother church of the Adelaide diocese, drawing many believers to participate in worship.

So humbling and emotive to enter such an amazing place of worship. Stone and brick work are so well done as are the incredible timber carvings. The huge pipe organ is special. Stained glass windows fantastic and so glad they let you take photos. St .Peters is up there with the best in the world. IMHO!

Such a beautiful, old historic church that stands out in Adelaide city. I loved the model of the church which some clever man had hand made! We spent quite awhile inside, mesmerised by all the intricate carvings and all the stunning lead lighting on the windows and glass panes. We came by here after staying at the Oval hotel and apparently caught the tail end of the Commonwealth service. Was spectacular watching & listening to the bagpipes. We went to the very back of the church to the private prayer room and when in there you just want to sit and reflect. Situated right on the corner, this gorgeous building can be seen from multiple angles. So pretty at night time too.

This Anglican Church is quite impressive inside and out and has a commanding position in North Adelaide. The church first held services in 1876 although not then totally complete. It has impressive stained glass windows, some installed much later. The staff were very welcoming and helpfull

The Cathedral is very easy to locate in close proximity to the Adelaide Oval. A brochure is available when you enter so you can take a self-guided tour. The brochure is very well done and provides a wealth of information. If you have any additional questions, employees are also available to assist. The stained glass windows and the Rose Window are very beautiful. There are also some photos (reproductions) that were taken during the building of the Cathedral, which were interesting to view.

A visit to the Cathedral was included in our Adelaide Highlights Tour and was probably the highlight of the tour. Magnificent building, a combination of English Gothic Revival with the main entry façade in French Gothic. The foundation stone was laid in 1869, the Cathedral was consecrated in 1877, yet the structure was not completed until 1904. There is a lovely Rose Window above the entrance and flanked by the 51m spires. We could really admire the stained glass windows better from the interior. Particularly impressive are God's Love Window, Magdalene Window and the Choir Windows. So many highlights in walking through the Cathedral until reaching the Lady Chapel, the last part built in 1904. Guides there to give a brief history of the Cathedral and to accompany you for a more detailed history. You are invited to make a donation or support the church though a purchase in the Cathedral shop.

St Peter's is the Anglican cathedral for Adelaide. It took many years to build, beginning in the 1860s with its final dedication in 1904. St Peters is a high point of the South Australian capital. It is constructed in French Gothic style, surrounded by specious grounds. Everyone should visit St Peters Cathedral, even if the are not religious.
