Experience the beauty of St Paul’s Cathedral in the evening light and explore our Cathedral’s heritage. Immerse yourself in little known stories from our rich history with Spotlight Talks from our expert guides, and self-guided trails. 

Discover a range of heritage skills with displays from our highly skilled craftspeople including stone masons and embroiderers. Join handling sessions with our Collections team, learn about the history of sightseeing, and enjoy the Cathedral’s art, including works by Henry Moore and Bill Viola. 

Sample our spiritual life, with an introduction to Christian mindfulness, music from our Cathedral Consort, and much more. 

The evening will close with a beautiful sung service of Compline under the Dome. 

A wonderful range of gifts, souvenirs, books and more can be found in our Shop, located in the Crypt, and our Benugos cafe will also be open for the evening. 

Admission to the Cathedral including the Crypt is free, but please note the Galleries will not be open. 

If you are able to make a donation towards our continuing learning programme when you register for the event, we would be very grateful.
