Peterborough Cathedral has unveiled its busy schedule for the autumn.

In the Apse Chapel, an installation comprising five chairs from Passchendale’s St Audomarus Church, each representing the casualties of one year of the First World War is taking place until mid November.

The chairs are displayed alongside a book printed with the names of all those from the British Isles who lost their lives in Belgium during the Great War.

In July 2018, after a journey of five years and 16 different locations around the UK and Ireland, the installation will return to Ypres in Belgium.

Entry to event is free, and opening times are 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Saturday and 12.00 noon to 3.00pm on Sundays, except when services are in progress.

Later this month, the Quaker Memorial Trust ‘Peace’ Exhibition takes place in the cathedral’s New Building.

The exhibition marks Quaker service since the time of the Irish famine, focusing on the Friends Ambulance Unit and Friends Relief Service during and after the Second World War.

Entry into the exhibition is free and opening times are 9.00am to 5.00pm from Monday to Saturday and 12.00 noon to 3.00pm on Sundays.

The cathedral’s first event of November is a wine and cheese tasting evening on Friday November 6.
