The cathedral is not just about religious services and history, it has a lot of events going on, in and around its grounds. Outside theatre performances from The Twits to Shakespeare, organ recitals, military bands, tours, talks, kids activities, art, farmers markets, concerts, Olympics related events.
Apologies also for the lack of posts (that's if there's anyone out there still looking at this blog!) which I blame partly on the London 2012 Olympics which I have been involved in since 2010. I recently discovered that the Olympic Torch will be coming to Winchester, a few steps away from my house!
Choices, choices... exciting news about the Torch too!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are! I think we would have to cross two counties to get a glimpse. Yes, I always thought of the cathedral as a true centre of the city - it even has activities for small children, a bit like letting a nursery school loose in a museum!
ReplyDeleteLots going on I am glad to see- yes the torch comes past a street I live on as well- we will have to post blogs on it.

ReplyDeletePerhaps they might let you hold it for a few minutes. Something to tell the grandchildren about!
Where have you gone?
