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.

These beautiful pictures were taken by Clive Barzillia.

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. 🍒

🤫 Psst… Have you whispered a secret in the Whispering Gallery?

Hidden high above the Quire of #GloucesterCathedral, this secret spot lets you hear a whisper travel all the way across the corridor!

It's located up the spiral staircase in the North Transept... a must see on your next visit!

More an #AdoorableThursday doorway than door perhaps, but there's just something irresistible about an ogee arch....
This elegant example leads from @gloucestercathedral.org.uk
cloisters to cafe - revealing yet another ogee within.

All are welcome to attend our Candlemas Carol service on Sunday 2 February at 6pm ✨

Experience the beauty of this candlelit celebration, accompanied by traditional choral music and readings. 🕯️

Candlemas marks 40 days after Jesus' birth, and His presentation at the Temple.

We love receiving images from recent visitors and couldn't resist sharing this one of Chango exploring our Cloisters 🐾

Don't forget to collect a biscuity treat at the Welcome Desk if you're bringing your pup for a visit 🐕
