We were delighted to install the new Archdeacon of Cheltenham this Sunday at Choral Evensong.

Led in worship by the Cathedral Choir, we prayed for Archdeacon Katrina's future here in the Diocese of Gloucester.

On Sunday 2 February, we were delighted to welcome hundreds of worshippers to our Candlemas Carol Service. Together, we journeyed from the East of the Cathedral to the West, bringing the Christmas season formally to a close.

Look up next time you visit! 👀

Essential repairs are underway on the Clerestory windows as part of our North Nave conservation works.

Thanks to the Friends of Gloucester Cathedral, this work will help preserve them for generations.

A cherry picker is currently inside the Nave. 🍒
