WE’VE UPDATED our plasma screen to show rolling events and videos, as well as general cathedral information. We’d love to hear your feedback on it – Too much text? Too quick? Not enough videos? Please send your thoughts to events@bradfordcathedral.org or pass them to a member of the team.
VOLUNTEERS are still needed for bulb planting in the Cathedral grounds. The children at Messy Harvest did plant as many as they could, although the dreadful weather that day meant that they were unable to plant them all. Please speak to Canon Mandy if you can help to plant the ones still left as we really want to have a garden full of colour next Spring in the West End area.
