Lent & Easter 2025 | What's On

The Lent and Easter seasons offer spaces for engagement with the rich heritage of our Christian faith.

For nearly two millennia Christians have observed the six weeks of Lent to prepare for Easter. It is a time of soul searching, coming to terms with the reality of who we are, trying different ways of praying (and fasting), and deepening our relationship with God.

This year our Lent will focus on an installation of Stations of the Cross by artist Mark Cazalet, painted on breadboards and everyday kitchen surfaces and accompanied by poems and questions for reflection from Richard Leaf. Do come and see them. As a community, we will live the Holy Week last days of Jesus and then celebrate the joy of Easter in music, words, and powerful symbols at the heart of our faith. Come to be part of that story this year.

We are also looking forward to opening our new Heritage & Learning Centre building after Easter. We are so very grateful to our donors and friends for years of faithful and generous support.

Come to see our renewed and newly revealed spaces. Come to explore our Leicester heritage and to mark the tenth anniversary of the reinterment of King Richard III. Come to experience Luke Jerram's giant Mars suspended in the Cathedral nave. Come to be mindful, playful, crafty, and curious.

There is something here for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you.
