What's On at Hereford Cathedral?

Illuminate: Let there be Light

Exhibition until Saturday 27 April, 10 am to 5 pm

Hereford Cathedral Library & Archives invite you to find light in the dark days of winter with their latest exhibition, Illuminate. The starting point is the Latin root of illuminate: to bring to light. A 12th century glossed book of Psalms shows the beauty of illuminated manuscripts. The exhibition also looks at different forms of light within the history of the cathedral, ranging from the metaphysical image of divine light to the literal lighting such as gasoliers and candles.

Normal admission charges apply.

Reading of St Mark’s Gospel by Clifford Offer

Tuesday 30 April, 7pm

The Gospel is a good story, but is it good news? Usually we only hear the story in bits but like any story, if you are to discern its inner message and uncover its hidden truths, you need to hear it in its entirety. It is only when you hear the whole gospel that it becomes good news. What message has St Mark for you and for us? Come and hear what St Mark has to say.

This event is free and will take place in the Lady Chapel
