Could you help welcome thousands of visitors to Hereford Cathedral this Spring?

Volunteers are wanted to help out at the free Weeping Window display at Hereford Cathedral, which is expected to attract thousands of visitors to the city centre. The installation has already been a great attraction in the places it has visited so far. The Weeping Window, which displays a cascade of thousands of individual ceramic poppies, was created by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper. It will appear at Hereford Cathedral from March 14th to April 29th, 2018.

A dedicated website has been created; herefordcathedral2018.org for these events. Additional information will be added as the programme is finalised.

The Weeping Window poppy sculpture will be free and open to the public, while a series of special events will be hosted at the cathedral and other venues as part of the Herefordshire Homefront campaign.

The Dean of Hereford, The Very Revd Michael Tavinor, said: “It is a great privilege for us to host this very special sculpture, which will mean such a lot to so many people. This is a remarkable accolade for the cathedral and for the county, building on our already proud military history and current links with the armed forces.”
