SUNDAY NOTICE SHEET ONLINE Go to the home page of www.canterbury-cathedral.org. Select ‘Worship & Music’, then ‘Music list & Notice Sheet’ And follow ‘For detailed information on the week’s Sunday service, as well as Cathedral congregational activities and events, see the weekly Notice Sheet’

UNDER AN EQUAL SKY: Continuing the Cathedral’s unprecedented year of exhibitions, Under An Equal Sky has now been installed, and will run until 11th November. It is a series of installations by international artists Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg, reflecting on themes of war and remembrance, migration and refugees. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, Under an Equal Sky will take the viewer on a journey that begins with 100 glass amphorae suspended in the shape of a ship in the Cathedral’s Nave and ends with a glass wall of multi-coloured vessels.

OBSOLETE AND LEFT OVER FOREIGN CURRENCY can be put to good use: visitors to the cathedral often place foreign currency in our donation boxes and collections. The accounts department gathers it up and sends it off to be exchanged into sterling. The latest collection made over £5,000! Where practical, the currency is re-patriated, small seemingly worthless coins are recycled for their copper, nickel, gold and silver. Sometimes the scrap metal value exceeds the monetary value and obsolete notes can be sought after by collectors. If you have any coins or notes left over from your holiday or tucked away in a drawer, put them to good use by placing them into one of the Cathedral’s donation boxes or collections, and you can leave the prospectors in our accounts department to do the rest….
