Peace Doves is a large-scale artwork which invites you to reflect on the values of peace, unity, and harmony. Each dove carries a unique message, written by visitors, schoolchildren, and community groups, and together they form a breathtaking installation that offers a serene space for contemplation and hope. Bathed in gentle, evocative lighting and at times accompanied by an original score by David Harper, the exhibit transforms the venue into a sanctuary of quiet reflection.
Peace Doves is open for viewing at Chester Cathedral, from Friday 2 May to Tuesday 17 June and is open during Cathedral’s normal operating hours. Visitors are encouraged to explore the scale and beauty of the artwork, to take a moment of stillness, and to appreciate the personal messages shared by people from all walks of life. Each message on the doves represents a piece of a greater call for peace, making this installation a truly unique experience.
Please note there will be no access to Peace Doves at the following times:
Sunday morning Eucharist from 10.30am-11.45.am
Thursday Organ Recital from 1.10pm-2pm
