Friends of Southwark Cathedral

Our pilgrimage to Winchester is progressing well. Sadly we will not be able to walk this weekend due to expected high temperatures. But we'll be walking again in September starting at Guildford and heading to Farnham. In the meantime we hope you enjoy this warm and sunny August

Have you visited the Cathedral to see the beautiful Peace Doves? The installation by @pwalkerscultor is free to visit @southwark_cathedral until 16 September

Tickets still available on Eventbrite for 2 events @Southwarkcathed next weekend Friday night is the Quiz held in the Cathedral and on Saturday we welcome back John Vigar for his highly popular illustrated lecture "For wedding, baptisms and funerals" @DeanSouthwark @se1

@SouthwarkCofE @BishopSouthwark @Southwarkcathed So lovely to hear our Trustee and long-time Friend, Guy Rowston, has been awarded the Lancelot Andrewes Medal. Congratulations

Conservation begins today on the Cathedral’s collection of Lancelot Andrewes books.  Cleaning and stabilising first, then protected within its own casing.    #conservation #lancelotandrewes @Southwarkcathed @CanonOakley

“Heritage to be marketed” or “flagships of the spirit, places of Christian study + encounter.” Canon Barry Forrester OBE asks us to be mindful of cathedrals’ role when implementing #CathedralsMeasures ⁦@HFDCathedral⁩ ⁦@S_warkFriends⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@Southwarkcathed⁩

This was a really fun set to write — as it’s in honor of @deansouthwark, I aimed for a kind of joyful, ebullient and bright setting…the image below being the only calm moment...

On Saturday Friends bid farewell to their much loved Dean. 4pm Choral E’song, drinks in the sunshine & a light hearted look at the highs & lows of Andrew’s time at the Cathedral Tickets: https://Friends_agm_.eventbrite.co.cathedralfriends @Southwarkcathed @deansouthwark
