A summer of Science, Creativity and Spirituality
As we begin to look ahead to recovering our freedom from the Covid pandemic as a result of the success of the mass vaccination programme, we’re aware, as never before, of the importance of science.
A spokesperson for the Cathedral said, “Some people think that science and religion don’t go together, but many scientists are people of faith. Lichfield Cathedral made headline news across the world when we opened our doors as a mass vaccination clinic in the spring, supporting the work of our brilliant NHS. And now we’re opening our doors again for a summer of science, creativity and spirituality.”
Events this summer will include:-
Pioneers in Science (19 July to 30 August) – a free exhibition highlighting the lives of pioneering scientists you may never have heard of before but whose work has shaped the world around us.
The Laboratory (13 August to 01 November) – a free exhibition in which you can walk around a giant laboratory in the Cathedral and take part in free family activities during the summer holidays and October half term.
The Great Exhibition (19 to 30 August) - in which the whole Cathedral will be immersed in light and sound enabling us to explore the wonders of our world through the eyes of scientists. Click here to book now
