Relax at an evening of meditative festive music, enjoying the splendour of our new Cathedral organ.

Enjoy the warmth, magic, and splendour of our magnificent organ during a special Christmas Organ Meditation; an inspiring hour of festive music set within a breathtaking and sacred space.

Join us at 6.30pm on Sunday 13 December for an enchanting performance of Olivier Messiaen's masterpiece, La Nativité du Seigneur (The Birth of the Lord).

Played by Gloucester Cathedral's own Assistant Director of Music, Jonathan Hope, this atmospheric performance wraps you in a cosy tapestry of sound, weaving through nine radiant musical meditations that capture the awe and deep joy of the Christmas story.

A wonderful way to end a weekend, before Monday begins…
