Eco Church Festival

All are welcome to join us on Rogation Sunday for an afternoon of giving thanks for God’s creation and celebrating the progress of parishes across the diocese in the Eco Church survey programme.

The event will begin at 1.30pm, with eco stalls and a picnic opportunity in the Cloister Garth, and will include a special Eco Church Festival Evensong at 3.30pm.

Rooted in the ancient tradition of walking the land in prayer, we gather to bless the earth, honour faithful action, and renew our shared commitment to creation care. With a variety of stalls from environmental organisations, a chance to picnic in the Cathedral Garth, and a joyful procession out of Evensong around the Close, we celebrate being part of a growing movement of churches seeking to live out the gospel through practical love for God’s world.

Why not bring a banner or flag to process with, made from upcycled and re-used materials as a celebratory symbol of your parish's creation care journey? Come and share your stories, triumphs and challenges with one another.

Sunday 10 May, from 1:30pm (Evensong at 3:30pm)

The eco stalls and picnic opportunity (bring your own or purchase from Bread Source in the Refectory Cafe) start from 1:30pm in the Cloister and garth, with Evensong starting at 3:30pm, ending with the procession around the grounds.

In this 10th Anniversary Year of the Eco Church programme, we look forward to celebrating together.
