Two churches in Cambridge. King’s College Chapel has 1 ticket or tour to book; St Bene’t’s Church has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
The chapel is entered on a college ticket that also covers the front court and the grounds down to the river; it is not cheap by cathedral standards and is timed in summer. Booking online is sensible from June to September and during graduation weeks, when the college closes to visitors entirely. Attending a service is free and is the better way in: Evensong is sung by the college choir on most days in term at half past five, with no ticket, and visitors queue at the side gate beforehand.
Saint Bene't's Church stands on Bene't Street in the centre of Cambridge, a few steps from King's Parade and Corpus Christi College, and entry is free. It is the oldest building in Cambridge and the oldest church in the county, and it is a quiet place in the busiest part of the city. Walking tours of Cambridge often pass by and point out its Saxon tower, and it is an easy stop between King's College Chapel, the Corpus Clock and the market square.
