'Unlocking Nature’s Secrets – A Year in Lockdo

'Unlocking Nature’s Secrets – A Year in Lockdown’ Photo Exhibition:

Now open to the public at Southwell Minster, the exhibition features the winners and top 25 images from our recent photography competition. The images of nature celebrate the ways we found comfort and peace during this difficult period of our national life discovering and appreciating the beauty of nature.

‘Unlocking Nature’s Secrets’ Photography Competition was launched as part of #leavesofsouthwell project, funded by the @heritagefunduk , which aims to conserve and reinterpret the Minster’s C13th naturalistic carvings.

On display until the 31st July – don’t miss it!

A stunning new art exhibition has opened at Southw

A stunning new art exhibition has opened at Southwell Minster. 'From Russia with Art' showcases the work of two highly-acclaimed Russian artists, Fedor Olevskiy and Aleksandr Kalinin, who have painted scenes of the locality, as well as the landscapes of the wild and unspoilt Russian countryside.

The exhibition has been organised by The Friends of Southwell Cathedral, an independent charity, founded in 1947, with members nationwide and overseas, who help provide funds to preserve and enhance the Cathedral.

All pieces on display are available to purchase, with a commission for each sale going to The Friends of Southwell Cathedral.

On display until 24 June - don't miss it!

It’s National Volunteers’ Week and we want to take time to thank all our amazing volunteers who have contributed to the #LeavesofSouthwell project so far. This has helped raise awareness about the conservation work on our magnificent Chapter House.

Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#28

Our current @heritagefunduk supported placement is Nottinghamshire artist, Tamsin Greaves, currently completing her MA in Museum Studies at @nottinghamtrentuni .

She has been working with Newark School, Magnus C of E Academy to introduce GSCE Art students to the Chapter House in the Minster and this week they were given a sneak preview of the almost finished conversation works!
It was great seeing the student engage creatively with the #leavesofsouthwell , the carved pews in the Quite and the moving installation of the ‘The Leaves of the Trees’. Looking forward to lots of school visits in 2021/2022

Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#27

At the start of the #leavesofsouthwell project we promised better exterior lighting and, over the last few weeks, locals have spotted the Minster beautifully illuminated as the new floodlights are tested and focussed.

Smaller, modern, energy efficient LED light replace the bulky 40 year-old models, saving 75% of previous running costs. Some attach to new lamp posts above eye level, eliminating glare for passers-by. The floodlighting has been designed by the team at Light Perceptions to complement the warm tones of the Minster’s exterior, highlight the architectural features of the ‘pepperpots’ and central tower and to emphasise the main entrances, while the subtle, low level illumination of the numerous pathways creates a safer and more inviting environment.

Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#26

Work has now progressed to the Palace Gardens, which were developed and opened to the public first of all in 2014 and have since become a much-loved community space for theatre events, family fun days, weddings and informal visitors – stunning and relaxing all year round.

The #leavesofsouthwell project, part-funded by the @heritagefunduk , will improve the paths and install power, Wi-Fi and lighting. There will also be a new Outdoor Learning Centre, better signage and interpretation (more news about that coming later in the summer), and expansion into the paddock area.

New plants will echo the realistic carved Chapter House leaves as we create an area of relaxation, learning and reflection or prayer.
