5 July – 21 September
Behind Sacred Doors … the Life and Times of Chester Cathedral

As the Mysteries are this year once again played out on Chester’s Cathedral Green, come and discover more about this fabulous building and the monks who once lived and worked there.

Taking you on a ‘tour’ through the building, using reconstructions, objects, paintings and photographs, you will uncover its history.  The Chapter House and Cloisters that have left a legacy of magnificent manuscripts.  The Refectory where the monks would eat in silence whilst readings were made to them from on high, the beautiful building, with its carvings and inscriptions and, of course, the shrine of St Werburgh, Chester’s patron saint.
