The Palace Gardens are now open!

Yesterday, we invited volunteers, the Leaves project team, manor donors and staff who have been invaluable to the #LeavesofSouthwell Project to come and celebrate the opening of the Palace Gardens.

As part of the @heritagefunduk project, the Palace Gardens has had a number of exciting new interpretation installed including a new outdoor learning space known as the 'Octagon', new pathways and plants, and a number of amazing wooden sculptures!

The Palace Gardens and Paddock are open to all daily who would like to explore our new interpretation and enjoy the relaxing setting of the gardens.

Yesterday we had our Choral Outreach Celebration day 🎶 We had such a fun day celebrating the beautiful #LeavesofSouthwell singing songs about plants, nature and our 13th century carvings!

We had two local schools visit the Minster and participate in singing workshops, crafts and storytelling in the morning. And ended the wonderful day with a fabulous concert with all the children performing and singing their hearts out. We even got to debut the ‘These are our Leaves’ song created as part of the Leaves of Southwell Project.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this day possible.

The weekend saw lots of exciting events including the exterior of the Minster illuminated with lots of images which really wowed everyone who attended! We also had our #thebigjubileelunch on Sunday afternoon - the weather didn’t stop the local community gathering together! Thanks to @essentiallybrass for an incredible performance which really added to the atmosphere and @southwellanddistrictlions for their helps and games!

Yesterday we had our Rogation Procession and Service from the Minster to @nottinghamtrentuni Brackenhurst. Crops, livestock and horticulture are were blessed along the way. 🐄🐏🌾

The word ‘rogation’ comes from the Latin rogare, meaning to ask or beseech. Traditionally, Rogation services are performed three days before Ascension Day asking God for his blessing but also for his protection.

Have a look at some of the most amazing photos taken by @whitefootphotography. Looks like a merman and a dragon are swimming out from a sea of leaves. What other carvings can you spot next time you visit our Chapter House?

These photos were taken during the conservation and capital works of Chapter House as part of the #LeavesofSouthwell project. The #LeavesofSouthwell project is funded by @heritagefunduk
