FRIENDS OF SALISBURY CATHEDRAL

The Friends of Salisbury Cathedral are planning their programme of events for
2023, so now is a great time to join.
Members of the Friends enjoy free entry to the cathedral (excluding ticketed
events, concerts or parking), they receive newsletters and the charity’s annual
report, and they are invited to its social events.
Next year’s programme begins in January with the Dean of Salisbury the Very
Revd Nicholas Papadopulos being ‘cast away’ at a Desert Island Discs event.
This is followed by a coffee morning in February and a new members’ afternoon in
March, the latter to include talks in the cathedral and tea in the refectory.
There will be a day trip to Wells
Cathedral in April and the annual
Secret Gardens of the Close
afternoon in June, during which a
number of gardens in Salisbury
Cathedral Close are open to the
public.
We hope to run a holiday to Wales in
July and Friends’ Day is in September
including the AGM, a lecture, cream
tea, organ recital and evensong.

In the last financial year, the Friends
gave more than £128,000 in grants to fund projects at the cathedral and
safeguard it for future generations.
These grants were made possible by means of members’ subscriptions, donations
and legacies.
Subscriptions are £25 for a single membership and £40 for joint membership. Gift
membership is also available.
