Gwyn and Tracey shed their yellow and pink cycling coats to reveal their red T-shirts and welcomed visitors to Derby Cathedral to view the Peace Doves installation.

Gwyn had the role of clicking the silver clicker that kept count of the number of visitors, and Tracey alternated between two jobs; collecting survey data on the black i-pad, and changing colours of the lighting that illuminated the white paper doves so that they glowed in shades of green, blue and purple.

As well as our planned fitness session (Gwyn cycling in on Little Blue, and Tracey on silver-grey Daisy), we took part in one of the Derby Walking Festival self-guided walks, following the red route on the city circuit map, and enjoyed a drink of orange juice and black tea before volunteering.

Feeling blue that you missed out on this community mission? There are other opportunities before the installation ends on 12th June, complete the survey here to inform the cathedral of your availability.

Derby Cathedral

Derby 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.
