for 2 hours

St Nicholas Square Newcastle, NE1 1PF, United Kingdom

Join us at Newcastle Cathedral for a service marking the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant, a public declaration of the Cathedral and Diocese of Newcastle’s commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.

This service takes place on the eve of the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain – a time to honour the dedication and sacrifice of all who serve or have served, including regular and reservist personnel, veterans, and military families.

The Armed Forces Covenant is an enduring promise between the people of the United Kingdom, His Majesty’s Government, and all members of the Armed Forces – past and present – along with their families. It recognises their invaluable contribution to our communities, our institutions, and our nation.

Newcastle Cathedral, the only cathedral in the UK dedicated to St Nicholas, is the mother church of the Diocese and a vibrant hub of prayer and welcome. Its striking 15th-century Lantern Tower, a landmark visible across the city, has guided generations to its doors. Located in the city centre, the Cathedral offers daily services, including morning prayer, Eucharist, and choral worship, as well as opportunities for quiet reflection. Clergy and volunteers serve the community with warmth and dedication, supporting all who seek faith or fellowship. Visitors can explore historic architecture, enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, and take part in events celebrating creativity, justice and hope. All are warmly invited to join in worship and community life.
