The Table for the Nation is a stunning 13-metre-long table, made from ancient, fossilised oak and is on display in Lincoln Cathedral from 24 April 2024 to 22 April 2025.
Created from a section of the nation’s most significant tree, a gigantic 5000-year-old Fenland Black Oak, the table is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Visitors can discover more about the table from the information panels accompanying it, but is not just an object to be looked at and admired. The table has been designed to be used and it will be the focal point for a number of events and activities throughout its year at Lincoln Cathedral. Some will be run by the Cathedral, and charities, businesses and community groups are encouraged to contact the cathedral if they would like to hire the table to run their own activities.
You can find out more about the table, including what’s on, how to hire the table, and how to sponsor a chair, by visiting the Table for the Nation page.
The table’s residency is part of ‘Our World; God’s Creation’ – Lincoln Cathedral’s year-long celebration of sustainability, communities and the environment.
