Salisbury Cathedral: A New Beginning

for 6 days, 5 hours, 30 mins
Salisbury Cathedral
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

Eight hundred years ago, in September 1225, the East End of Salisbury Cathedral was finished – the beginning of a medieval masterpiece. At the first service, Bishop Richard Poore dedicated three altars with the Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton and King Henry III later joining the celebrations. Saint Osmund’s shrine was built here in the 15th century, although later destroyed in the Reformation, and in 1980, the spectacular Prisoners of Conscience Window was installed, designed by Gabriel Loire and unveiled by violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

This mini exhibition held in the Cathedral Library includes ancient documents and other treasures from the Cathedral’s archive, library and historic objects collections from the medieval period to more recent times.

Mon-Sat 10:30-12:30 and 14:00-16:00, Sun 13:30-15:30

This exhibition is included with a general admission ticket to Salisbury Cathedral at no additional cost.

Adult: £10

But why should it be kept in the Cathedral’s library?

An Introduction to the Gospel of Matthew

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Salisbury Cathedral
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

Matthew’s gospel is the longest account of the life of Jesus. Heavily influenced by Judaism, the evangelist portrays Jesus as the one who fulfils yet transforms Jewish expectations of a Saviour / Messiah.

The Church year which begins at Advent 2025 will source most of its Sunday gospel readings from St Matthew. This evening is an opportunity to get ahead of the lectionary by diving into the priorities and values of the first evangelist.

Some of the most famous stories and sayings of Jesus are only found in the first gospel: the star-led wise men, parables of wheat and tares, sheep and goats, wise and foolish virgins, and many details of the crucifixion and resurrection are only found in Matthew. This evening will explore why these were important for Matthew and what they might mean for us today.

Booking Details
We are trialling a charge for this event. This is to cover the costs of the evening and support future adult learning opportunities at the Cathedral. If you would like to attend but cost is an issue, please contact [email protected]

Adult tickets: £10
Student tickets: £5
Under 18: Free
