See three majestic sperm whale sculptures suspended in the cathedral nave. A thought provoking and inspiring artwork by artist Tessa Campbell Fraser in partnership with MESSUMS ORG which was first shown at Winchester Cathedral.
Whales will be accompanied by a programme of sea-inspired events including concerts and family activities including the return of the BBC Big Band in a specially curated performance, Swinging under the Sea, and an evening of sea shanties.
Whales will be free of charge to see during the day, although charges apply for groups, schools and special events. On selected evenings visitors will be able to experience the artwork in a new light after dark.
