City of Culture Update
Durham Cathedral wishes Sheffield, Derry/Londonderry, Birmingham and Norwich every success with their bid to become the City of Culture 2013.
The Cathedral looks forward to continuing to work with its partners as the City and County develop its cultural programme.
Highlights for the Durham World Heritage Site include the return of the Lumiere Festival of Light and the temporary return of one of the world's greatest treasures - the Lindisfarne Gospels. The Cathedral will continue to celebrate the English Choral Tradition through the work of its musicians alongside stewardship of its many treasures and collections.
