A big thank you

To all those who worked so hard to create such a fabulous festival.

The horses have run, the flowers have glowed, the whole Cathedral brimmed with fabulous displays.

See what our young journalists had to say. See, by clicking here, the time lapse video by those clever people at Epix Media of how it all came together.

So, if you have, thank you for coming to support our Flower Festival. It was all in aid of the Fabric Fund which works to maintain this wonderful building. We welcomed a fabulous 13,000 visitors and met our target of £100,000.

We would love you to come back when it is quieter and enjoy the peace of the Cathedral. There is so much more to explore and experience. It is easy to become a little part of what we do. There are many opportunities for volunteering, there are currently two important paid jobs being advertised. We greatly value regular donations, however small. Apart from a relatively small amount of investment income from the giving of past generations, we have to raise every penny we spend and we have to spend £3 million each and every year to maintain and run the Cathedral.
