Newport Cathedral Emergency Campaign 2010

Newport Cathedral’s sixth gala ‘Knightsbridge comes to St Woolos’ concert will this year double up as a celebration to mark the completion of the first half of the work on the Cathedral Roof.

As usual the Concert will have an Advent and Christmas theme to its music and readings. A number of celebrities from the worlds of sport, television and the arts are expected to be involved

Dean-designate Canon Jeremy Winston said, “It is right we should give thanks at the completion of the works - and what a way to say thank you to God and to all who have contributed to the restoration. I am not only pleased the work is nearing completion, but am pleased how well the job has been done”.

Over a ten year period two and half million pounds need to be raised to restore the cathedral to its former glory. The one million raised so far has gone on emergency works , as well as the restoration of the South Porch and on half of a new roof.
