Gwyn and Tracey welcomed visitors to the Gaia installation at Derby Cathedral.
821 people visited that day, and we were lucky enough to greet (and "click" in) the last 156 of them before evensong began.
As Gaia rotated past, we had a good view of Kentucky. One of our roles was to had out surveys to visitors. We fried hard to do this, but it was difficult to find the right moment to ask them for details without disturbing their pleasure at the spinning globe. As a result, we chickened out on one or two for risk of spoiling their visit, but we still managed to get quite a few.
Guess what we had for supper that evening (after having picked litter with Rachel)? Believe it or not, fish and chips!

Derby CathedralDerby Cathedral aims to enhance and enrich the lives of its communities by providing inspiring worship, high quality music, pastoral outreach and arts and culture events to the communities of Derby and Derbyshire.
The Cathedral Church of All Saints Derby is a jewel of a building, glittering with life and colour especially when the sun shines through the clear glass windows. There are many fascinating monuments around the walls which tell an unfolding history of a thousand years. As a place of sanctuary and worship, you are invited to visit, and appreciate the calm and space for reflection and prayer. All Saints’ Church was hallowed as a Cathedral in 1927 with the creation of the new Diocese of Derby. Over this time, Derby Cathedral has sought to serve the bishops and parishes of the Diocese, together with all who live and work in the city and county. Everyone is welcomed here.
