Tickets for visiting Rosslyn Chapel
Open daily
Each day is now split into timeslots, allowing us to manage the flow of visitors and the capacity on site at any time.
When you make a booking, you will receive an automatic confirmation by email.
Please note that we do not send separate tickets.
Each timeslot lasts for 90 minutes and this time allocation includes:
- use our free map to find the main carvings inside and outside the Chapel
- listen to one of the short information talks which are given at specified times
In addition to the 90-minute timeslot, don’t forget to –
- time to look around the outside of the Chapel and take some photos (there is no restriction on exterior photography for personal use)
- explore the visitor centre and find out more about the Chapel’s history
- buy a souvenir or two in our gift shop
- have a drink or snack in our coffee shop, either to sit in or takeaway.
There are 5 timeslots, Monday to Saturday, and 3 on Sunday.
Although booking in advance is recommended, it is usually possible to buy tickets at the door but please be aware that, in the busiest times, you may have to wait a short time if the Chapel is at capacity.
Admission prices are:
Full price: £10.50
Reduced price: £9.00
Children in family group: free of charge
You can find out more about admissions, and how you can convert your ticket to annual pass at no extra charge, through this link - admission
Details of our times are given below.
- Tickets should be booked in advance through this site and confirmation of your booking will be sent to you by email.
- Website bookings are open up to an hour before the timeslot starts.
Please note that your visit does not need to start from the beginning of the timeslot.
So, for example, if you book for the first one, you could arrive at any time from 9 am but your visit would still end at 10.30 am.
Make the most of your visit
Each timeslot includes a short presentation on the history and key features of the Chapel by one of our Guides. You are welcome to sit and listen or keep looking around.
To help all visitors enjoy their experience, we have information boards around the site and provide free leaflets in a variety of languages, with maps showing the main features inside and outside the Chapel.
