St Nicholas Cathedral’s Tower and Tea Tours are back, offering the chance to climb to the top of the Lantern Spire and take in the stunning views from one of the highest points in the city before heading back to terra firma for afternoon tea in the Lantern Café. The tours are every Friday at 2pm (except Aug 15), and cost just £10 including tea.
From August 15-17 the cathedral is also hosting the Extraordinary art exhibition of work from 14 local artists and on August 16 original works will be auctioned in aid of cathedral funds.
