You will hopefully notice that the sound quality has improved in the Cathedral! We’ve had all new microphones and speakers, which should make a difference towards the back of the Nave. We have also updated our cabling and now have HD video on screens.

A beautiful, snowy morning at St Edmundsbury ❄️

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany at all services. Transferred from its actual date of 6 January, Epiphany means ‘manifestation’ and so as we recall the visit of the far-travelled magi ('The Three Kings') to Jesus, we celebrate his birth and his love being made known.
